SEMH Graduate Learning Support Mentor- Trafford

Teaching Personnel is seeking ambitious, resilient, and compassionate graduates to join specialist SEMH schools and alternative provisions across Trafford as a Graduate Learning Support Mentor.

This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting young people who face significant barriers to education due to Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Students may present with anxiety, trauma, attachment difficulties, ADHD, autism, emotional dysregulation and behavioural challenges.

Many of these young people have struggled within traditional educational environments and require consistent support, positive encouragement, and trusted adults to help them re-engage with learning and achieve success.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Learning Support Mentor, you'll play a crucial role in helping students overcome both educational and emotional barriers by:

• Providing tailored 1:1 and small-group support throughout the school day.
• Building positive, professional relationships with students who may be disengaged from education.
• Supporting emotional regulation, social development, and wellbeing.
• Delivering mentoring sessions focused on confidence, resilience, and personal growth.
• Encouraging positive behaviour through restorative and trauma-informed approaches.
• Supporting students both inside and outside the classroom to maximise engagement.
• Working alongside teachers, pastoral teams, therapists, and external agencies.
• Acting as a consistent role model who promotes high expectations and positive outcomes.

We're Looking For Graduates Who Are:

• Passionate about making a difference to the lives of vulnerable young people.
• Interested in careers within education, psychology, social work, counselling, youth justice, or mental health.
• Resilient, proactive, and confident in challenging situations.
• Able to build trust and maintain professional boundaries.
• Strong communicators with excellent interpersonal skills.
• Patient, empathetic, and committed to helping young people succeed.

Why Choose Teaching Personnel?

• Competitive weekly pay.
• Industry-leading SEMH, behaviour management, safeguarding, and trauma-informed practice training.
• Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement.
• Opportunities for long-term placements and permanent employment.
• Exceptional experience for postgraduate study and future careers in education or mental health.
• The chance to make a genuine, lasting impact on a young person's life.

Start a Career That Matters

This isn't just another graduate role. It's an opportunity to support young people through some of the most important moments of their educational journey, helping them build confidence, develop resilience, and achieve goals they never thought possible.
