Behaviour Mentor

Teaching Personnel is working closely with a Church of England secondary school in the heart of the historic city of Bath. The school is needing a Behaviour Mentor or Learning Support Assistant to support pupils with SEMH (Social Emotional and Mental Health). This is a full-time role to start ASAP!

The School

Previously this school has been known for its tight knit community feel and smaller class sizes but since its recent popularity, for the first time in many years it has a full Year 7!

This Church of England School is based in a very typical Bath area with houses built of the local sandstone and a view of countryside from every direction! I visit this school on a regular basis and I am always made to feel so welcome like I am part of the family. Working at Teaching Personnel for seven years and going to so many schools,, I'd like to think I have a good eye for a good school and this is definitely one of them. Plus, OFSTED has rated it GOOD too!
