About the School
This welcoming Nursery and Primary School in Hammersmith & Fulham is known for its inclusive ethos, strong pastoral provision, and commitment to early childhood development. The school serves a richly diverse community and places emotional wellbeing at the heart of its educational approach.
Leaders recognise the importance of early behavioural support and are committed to providing children with the tools they need to manage emotions, develop positive relationships, and engage fully in learning. The school is now seeking a skilled Behaviour Mentor to support pupils across Nursery, Reception, and Key Stage 1.
The Role
As a Behaviour Mentor, you will work with children who require additional support with behaviour, emotional regulation, and social development. Pupils may present with SEMH needs, ASD, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or trauma-related behaviours.

* Monitor and document progress and behaviour patterns
* Support children in developing self-regulation skills
* Engage positively with parents and carers
* Uphold safeguarding and child protection standards

You should have:
* Experience in a Nursery, Primary, or EYFS environment
* Knowledge of SEND, SEMH, or trauma-informed practice
* A calm, consistent, and nurturing approach
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* Emotional resilience and adaptability
Relevant experience in childcare, education, psychology, or youth work is highly valued.
