Overview
We are seeking a Personal Development Mentor to join our small but very friendly Post-16 SEN Education & Training Provision, in Tonbridge. This role is 4 mornings per week, term-time only, and would suit someone who has experience of working with this age group, who is well-organised and has a demonstrably good working knowledge of how SEND affects young people. The role involves working with small groups of young people aged 16 - 19 years, teaching them about subjects and skills that will help prepare them for adulthood. This is a very rewarding role, which is part of a very friendly and supportive team. YMCA Thames Gateway is serious about safeguarding; this role will be subject to a Standard Disclosure & Barring Service check.
