• Inspiring educators required to work with primary age children in Kingston based PRU

Teaching Personnel is currently looking for two learning mentors to work with children at risk of exclusion from school due to their behavioural difficulties. You will be based in a short stay PRU in New Malden and you will help children re-integrate back into mainstream school and avoid permanent exclusion.

I am therefore looking for people who are passionate about inducing positive social and behavioural change as well as educational progression.

Although you will focus primarily on coaching the children on their behaviour choices, your role will also involve delivering school work including numeracy and literacy sessions which are already planned for you.

The working day starts at 08:45am and finishes at 3:30pm. Ideally we are looking for applicants who can work 5 days per week (Monday to Friday, term time only) however applicants who can work 3 or 4 days per week will also be considered.

• £75-£100 per day pay rate through the agency, which will be paid weekly
• An extra £9 - £12 per day will be paid for you towards your National Insurance and Pension contributions
• Previous experience of working with children in a similar capacity is desirable
