Behaviour mentor - full time role in Greenwich primary school

Full time behaviour mentor required in primary school alternative provision for children with challenging behaviour - interviews for the role to take place in the last two weeks of August before the school starts again in September.

I am looking for someone who wants to make a difference to the lives of young people with behavioural, social and emotional difficulties. The ideal candidate will be someone who can engage with key stage 2 children on a 1:1 basis, supporting their academic progress as well as their social and emotional development.

If you are passionate about working with children and think you have the skills and experience to support children who have struggled to cope in mainstream education due to their behaviour, I would like to hear from you!

The role:

• You will be working in a small key stage 2 class, providing 1:1 support for a boy in year 6
• You will act as a positive role model, encouraging all children in the provision to make the right decisions, to be happy and healthy and focussed on achieving their goals
• You must be able to support progress in all primary subjects, following the national curriculum
• You must be very confident in behaviour management, using de-escalation techniques, remaining calm and restraining where absolutely necessary
• Restraint training is desirable, although this can be offered

Daily rates for this position start from £65 per day, although this is negotiable, dependent on experience and training. Working hours are 08:30am - 15:30pm each day Monday to Friday.
