Are you confident, calm under pressure, and passionate about helping young people reach their full potential?
We are looking for a Behaviour Mentor to work in a well-regarded school in Congresbury, supporting pupils who may display challenging behaviour linked to Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs or other barriers to learning. This role requires you to show a high level of initiative and reliability.
This is a rewarding role for someone who wants to make a difference by helping students regulate their emotions, build positive relationships, and re-engage with their education. If you're ready to support some of the most vulnerable young people in education, we'd love to hear from you.
Role Responsibilities:
- Work closely with pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups
- Support students to manage behaviour and make positive choices
- Use de-escalation and restorative approaches
- Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils and staff
- Support classroom learning and help reinforce behavioural and emotional targets
- Maintain consistent boundaries and act as a positive role model
Who We're Looking For:
- Emotionally resilient and able to stay calm in challenging situations
- Strong communicator with a positive and proactive mindset
- Able to build rapport with young people, particularly those who may struggle to trust adults
- Previous experience isn't essential, but backgrounds in youth work, care, mental health, sport, or support work are valuable
Why Join Five Education?
- A supportive consultant who will help find the right school for you
- Ongoing behaviour support training and CPD
- Opportunity to progress into a permanent role
- Free, high-quality SEND and behaviour management training throughout the year
