This is more than a job, this a role for those seeking to make a difference in the lives of young people.
Are you sporty, good with practical tasks like woodwork, DT, sewing, cooking, art, mechanics- like being in the forest or gardening? Any of these skills are excellent to pass on to children and young people.
We are seeking experienced Learning Mentors-instructors, with strong relationship building skills, to be positive role models for our young people. You will need to be able to set clear boundaries, be patient and proactive. Every day will be different; you will need to work flexibly to provide a consistent approach to supporting young people to engage and progress within their individual aims and objectives.
This role is advertising for candidates to be working as part of Empshott LLP, incorporating Newton Wood Barn School and Newton Wood Barn Alternative Provision.
Working at Newton Wood Barn will mean working as a part of a multi-faceted program. Our program helps young people who cant attend mainstream schools or find themselves waiting for a placement and in need of a bridge in between. Many young people need bespoke strategies to support them in attending and engaging in education and we provide this tailored approach to all.
As an instructor you need the skills in building relationships with learners that have found mainstream school a challenge. Learners at our setting need relationships, kindness and boundaries, in order to feel safe. This flexible approach to working may continue through a young persons journey and the work is to continually strive to help achieve their next steps
You would be responsible for working 1:1 and in small groups, running sessions and role modelling positive behaviour.
