Learning Mentor

A Catholic secondary school in Manchester wish to appoint Learning Mentor on a full-time basis starting in September. This exciting opportunity has become available due to a restructuring within the school’s support department, with the school’s Pastoral lead seeking to meet with caring, motivated and inspirational individuals who may be suitable to join their team.

• Leaning Mentor - Full time post, term time only
• September start date
• Potential to secure school-based contract
• Competitive daily rates dependent on experience (GBP1330 - GBP1630 per month)
• ‘Good’ Graded South Manchester based secondary school.

As a Learning Mentor, the ideal applicant will have experience of working and supporting young people. If successful, the incoming candidate will be responsible for supporting a number of students who are struggling with their studies through a range of different SEND issues including behaviour, emotional or social problems.

The role will include identifying and targeting students to mentor throughout the academic year who may be under-performing and offering them support both in and out of the classroom. A Learning Mentor’s support should increase student self-esteem and confidence, and ultimately help students to perform to their full potential.

Experience of working with young people within an education setting is desirable but not essential, and our partner school would welcome applications from recent graduates who may be keen to gain experience within a school and are looking to start a career in education.

The school we are working in partnership with is a diverse leading Catholic 11 – 16 High School.  They have a strong record of achievement leading in recent years to a number of national awards. The school has access to excellent transport links to Manchester city centre and surrounding areas.

For consideration, please provide an updated CV.
