Behaviour Support Mentor
Teaching Personnel are looking for someone with experience of working with secondary school age children in a Behaviour Support/Mentor capacity (either through a school, or through voluntary work) who would be available from September onwards for a full-time role until December. Teaching Personnel support Secondary Schools with staff in all areas, and one of our client schools based in the South Manchester are currently looking for a Behaviour Mentor on a long-term basis.
The school is an 11-16 Ofsted Good school situated close to public transport links and has a very well-staffed and supportive internal inclusion unit for pupils who display challenging behaviour and cannot be within normal lessons without distracting others from their education. We require someone with prior experience in this role who are enthusiastic about supporting disengaged young people with their education and can form positive working relationships with ease. You will need to have strong behaviour management skills as well as an innate ability to feel empathy for their situation.
The School are looking to appoint the right candidate prior to the school year finishing so they are all set up ready for a September start date. There is the option as well to start sooner than September, in the summer term, should you clear Teaching Personnel’s vetting process promptly. This would allow you to get to grips with the role early on, and the school would support by allowing the candidate to shadow other members of staff before starting the role properly.
- Pay: £85 - £95 per day depending on experience
- Full-time role from September until December (option to start earlier)
- Secondary School based in South Manchester
- Prior experience of working with vulnerable young people who display challenging behaviour essential
