Our vision, based on highly successful work over the last 10 years, is for our new mentor team to continue to tackle barriers to learning, promote pupil engagement, reduce the risk of exclusions and form a highly effective provision alongside our established wellbeing team, SEND provision and wider learning support model. As well as working with identified pupils within your mentoring role, you will take on a highly effective and well established pupil volunteering system that currently has approximately 140 pupils signed up for key roles at Ludlow. Our current mentoring team is now moving on and this is an exciting opportunity to build on established strengths and identify fresh and exciting opportunities within this work too.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented individual to join our school community in the role of Senior Learning Mentor. to work alongside our pupils, families and staff team to help pupils achieve their full potential, overcome barriers and get the most out of school life. We are also looking for an Assistant Learning Mentor (separate advert) to join the team.
You will need to have a background in schools and have proven expertise in pupil support. We expect you to have the resilience and creativity to work with some challenging pupils on a day to day basis and to form positive bonds with them and their families.
The role will include working alongside pupils in the classroom, devising systems to keep them motivated/rewarded and removing barriers to learning/progress/inclusion. This may lead to us developing parenting support packages based on your work.
Beyond your core mentoring workload, you will expected to lead and maintain/extend our pupil volunteering scheme and consistently monitor and improve its implementation. You will need to understand how you could track and monitor impact data for your work and be able to implement review sessions with pupils, parents, colleagues and 3rd party inspectors.
If you feel you have the interpersonal skills to bring the very best out of our pupils and can see the benefit of working with their families, we would like to hear from you.
