Do you have the passion, patience, and dedication to make a real difference in the lives of young people? Are you ready to support and guide students with diverse needs, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their potential? If so, we want to hear from you.

We are proud partners of a dedicated Pupil Referral Unit that supports students aged 11-17 who have been excluded from mainstream education. Our students face a range of challenges, including Autism, Learning Difficulties, and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. With a focus on inclusivity and growth, we create a nurturing environment where every young person can flourish - academically, socially, and emotionally.

As a Youth Mentor, you’ll be a cornerstone of our students’ development, offering them the guidance, support, and encouragement they need to thrive. This dynamic role goes beyond the classroom, allowing you to make a meaningful impact on students’ lives.
