Graduate Behaviour Mentor
Are you a university graduate interested in mental health and behaviour? Are you interested in positive reinforcement and helping to inspire young people with challenging behaviour? Are you considering a future in youth work or psychology?
An Alternative Provision just outside of Devizes is looking for a Graduate Behaviour Mentor to join their team on a full‑time basis, starting immediately and continuing long‑term.
As a Graduate Behaviour Mentor, you will be supporting students aged 11 to 18 with mental health needs and behaviour changes throughout the school day, helping to support them socially, emotionally and academically. You will provide both 1:1 and group support in the classroom under the guidance of the class teacher. You will help manage the students’ behaviour, develop appropriate social and emotional skills, and foster a positive and encouraging learning environment. Through your support you will serve as a positive role model that students can trust and emulate, helping them to thrive post‑education and live independently when they leave school.
To be successful within this role you need to be ready for a challenge and have a high level of resilience. Experience working with children and/or adults with challenging behaviour would be beneficial, as would any experience in a school setting.
This is a fantastic opportunity for recent graduates looking to gain experience with difficult behaviour and mental health. It will grant the skills needed for a future in criminal justice or youth work, and offers networking opportunities with teachers, therapists and psychologists on site.
Full‑time Monday to Friday, 08:30‑15:30
