We'll provide training, guidance, and hands-on school experience so you feel fully supported from day one. What the role involves: As a Learning Mentor, you'll support students who may need additional emotional or behavioural support throughout the school day.
Responsibilities
* Supporting students with SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) needs
* Helping young people regulate emotions and engage positively with learning
* Building strong, trusting relationships with students
* Working closely with teachers, SEN teams, and pastoral staff
* Providing consistency, encouragement, and reassurance throughout the day
We're currently working with a number of specialist schools across Fleet and the surrounding areas, looking for caring, resilient individuals to join them as Learning Mentors on both flexible and long-term placements.
No previous school experience is required. You don't need to have worked as a Learning Mentor before. We're much more interested in your ability to build positive relationships, stay calm under pressure, and support students who may be finding school challenging emotionally or behaviourally.
Skills you will develop
* Behaviour and emotional support
* Pastoral care
* SEN and SEMH support
* Communication and relationship-building
It's also an excellent stepping stone into careers such as teaching, educational psychology, youth work, counselling, or social care.
Who this role would suit
We'd especially like to hear from people who have experience supporting others or working with young people, including:
* Sports coaches
* Psychology graduates
* Youth workers
* Support workers
* Individuals from care or mentoring backgrounds
If you're patient, empathetic, adaptable, and able to build rapport quickly, this role could be a fantastic fit.
What we offer
* Flexible and long-term Learning Mentor opportunities
* Weekly pay from £90-£100 per day (PAYE)
* Free CPD training including safeguarding and behaviour support
* Opportunities to gain school experience before committing
* Ongoing support from a friendly, people-first team
