School Overview
This friendly and inclusive Primary and Nursery School in West Drayton places emotional wellbeing and behaviour support at the centre of its educational provision. Serving a growing and diverse community, the school is committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and supported from their earliest years in education.
The leadership team strongly believes in early intervention and understands that behaviour difficulties in young children often reflect unmet emotional, social, or developmental needs. With a rising number of pupils requiring additional behavioural support across EYFS and Key Stage 1, the school is now seeking a compassionate and resilient Behaviour Mentor to join their pastoral team.
The Role
As a Behaviour Mentor, you will support pupils who experience challenges with emotional regulation, behaviour for learning, or social interaction. Pupils may present with SEMH needs, ASD, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or trauma-related behaviours.
You will work closely with teachers and support staff to provide consistent behaviour strategies and targeted interventions, helping pupils to develop confidence, emotional awareness, and positive behaviour habits.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide 1:1 mentoring and emotional support
* Deliver small group behaviour and social skills interventions
* Support children in Nursery and classroom settings
* Assist with transitions and unstructured times
* Implement and review behaviour support plans
* Use trauma-informed and play-based strategies
* Collaborate with teachers, EYFS staff, SENCO, and pastoral teams
* Observe, track, and report on pupil progress
* Contribute to planning and review meetings
* Build positive relationships with parents and carers
* Maintain safeguarding and child protection standards
The Ideal Candidate
You will be patient, nurturing, and emotionally resilient, with a strong commitment to supporting young children. The school is seeking someone who understands that behaviour is communication and who can respond with empathy, consistency, and professionalism.
You should have:
* Experience working in a Primary, Nursery, or EYFS environment
* Knowledge of SEND, SEMH, and early childhood development
* A calm and consistent approach to behaviour support
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills
* The ability to work independently and as part of a team
Experience in childcare, education, psychology, youth work, or mental health is highly desirable.
Professional Development
The school provides structured training, regular supervision, and clear progression opportunities. This role is well suited to individuals planning careers in teaching, SEN provision, or pastoral leadership.
What the School Offers
* A caring and supportive school culture
* Experienced and approachable leadership
* Access to ongoing CPD and specialist training
* A fulfilling role supporting early intervention
* Opportunities for long-term and permanent roles
