Looking for a role where you can make a real difference, every single day?
We’re on the lookout for a caring and committed SEND Learning Support Mentor to join a welcoming primary school in Havering. This is a full‑time role supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, including autism, moderate learning difficulties, and more complex needs.
You’ll be right at the heart of the classroom, helping children feel safe, understood, and ready to learn. From supporting with daily routines to building confidence and independence, your role will have a genuine impact on each child’s school experience.
No two days are the same, and that’s what makes it so rewarding.
What you’ll be doing:
* Supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups within a primary classroom
* Helping children access learning in a way that works for them
* Building positive, trusting relationships that help pupils thrive
* Working closely with teachers and support staff to create a calm, supportive environment
* Assisting with personal care where needed, always with dignity and respect
Who this role suits:
You might come from a background in care, support work, or healthcare, or you might simply have a natural ability to connect with children who need a little extra support. What matters most is your attitude.
We’re looking for someone who is:
* Patient, kind, and genuinely supportive
* Confident working with children with additional needs
* Reliable and ready to get stuck in
* A team player who brings positive energy to the classroom
The details:
* Full-time, Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 3:30pm
* Long-term role, with potential to become permanent
* Based in Havering
A few extras that help (but aren’t deal‑breakers):
Manual handling, hoist training, first aid, or care-related qualifications
What you’ll get in return:
* Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
* Free access to our CPD Academy, helping you build your skills
* A dedicated consultant who’s got your back from day one
* £50 referral bonus if you know someone great
