Full-Time | Long-Term Opportunity
Immediate Start Available
For many young people, consistency is rare. Feeling understood is rare. Having someone who genuinely believes in them can change everything.
We are looking for compassionate, resilient and driven individuals to join specialist primary, secondary schools and alternative provisions across Bath as Youth Mentors, supporting students with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).
This role is about far more than behaviour management.
It is about building trust, creating stability and helping young people reconnect with education, confidence and their future.
Whether you have previous experience in education, youth work, residential care, coaching, mental health support or mentoring - or simply have the right mindset and passion for supporting vulnerable young people - we would love to hear from you.

Our Youth Mentors play a vital role in helping young people who may have experienced trauma, exclusion, anxiety, behavioural challenges or difficulties within mainstream education.
