Are you a dedicated and confident Graduate looking for school-based experience to support your future career as a Teacher, SENCO, School Counsellor or Educational Psychologist?

Do you work well and stay calm in challenging situations and do you think you have what it takes to support disadvantaged students as a Graduate Behaviour Mentor in a school setting?

I am currently working on 3 Graduate Behaviour Mentor posts to start in September at two different Primary schools in the central Bristol area.  This is a full-time long-term position for the academic year 20/21 with the opportunity to go temp-to-perm. The salary for this position is GBP60-70 per day dependant on experience.

As a Graduate Behaviour Mentor you will need to be able to connect with students with social, emotional, behavioural and mental health issues. In this role you will need to be able to build positive relationships with the child you are supporting and work with them to ensure they can progress on an academic and pastoral level.

As a Graduate Behaviour Mentor you need to take initiative and a flexible approach in providing opportunities for students to become independent and well-rounded individuals ready to embrace all that life has to offer. You will develop and implement strategies that can remove the barriers to learning that have hindered their progress up to now. You will need to be a patient and resilient individual as working as a Behaviour Mentor can be extremely challenging.

Working as a Graduate Behaviour Mentor will allow you to build up invaluable experience which can help to support you in your future career choice whether as a Teacher or Psychologist.
