A thriving Oldham Alternative Provision that supports secondary-aged students across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 are searching for Behaviour Mentors to contribute to their school community.
The provision works with pupils who have struggled to thrive in mainstream education due to challenging behaviour, ASC and SEMH needs, providing a structured and supportive environment where students can rebuild confidence, develop positive behaviours, and re-engage with learning.
