Looking for a Role Where You Can Change Lives?

We're seeking compassionate, resilient and motivated Behaviour Support Mentors to join a specialist educational provision in Carmarthen, supporting young people with:

SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health Needs)
ALN (Additional Learning Needs)
Behavioural Challenges
Autism & ADHD

Many of the pupils in our care have experienced significant barriers to learning. They need patient, consistent and positive role models who can help them develop confidence, resilience and the skills needed to achieve success both in and beyond the classroom.

This is more than a job. It's an opportunity to make a genuine difference every single day.

As a Behaviour Support Mentor, you'll play a key role in helping pupils engage in education and achieve positive outcomes.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting pupils during lessons and learning activities
• Delivering 1:1 and small-group support
• Helping young people regulate emotions and develop positive coping strategies
• Supporting outdoor learning, enrichment and practical activities
• Accompanying pupils on educational visits and off-site activities
• Supporting community-based learning and life-skills development
• Encouraging independence, communication and social development
• Working closely with teachers, support staff and external agencies
• Recording observations and contributing to pupil progress and wellbeing plans

In this setting, relationships come before results.

Many of our pupils struggle with traditional classroom learning and engage best through shared interests, practical activities and positive role models.

Whether you're passionate about:

• Sports & Fitness
• Fishing
• Gaming
• Art & Design
• Outdoor Activities
• Photography
• Cooking
• Drama & Performance
• Animal Care

...or have another unique hobby or skill, we'd love to hear about it.

These interests can be powerful tools for building trust, improving engagement and helping young people discover new strengths and aspirations.

We're not just looking for support staff. We're looking for people who can inspire and connect with young people.

We welcome applications from candidates with experience in:

• Residential Childcare
• Support / Youth Work
• Sports Coaching
• Mental Health Services
• Police, Prison & Emergency Services
• Armed Forces
• Outdoor Education

No school experience? No problem. Transferable skills and the right attitude are just as important.

We are committed to investing in our staff and offer:

• Safeguarding Training
• Behaviour Management Training
• Autism Awareness Training
• Thrive Training
• Highly Discounted Team Teach Training
• Continuous Professional Development
• Ongoing support from experienced education professionals
• Opportunities for long-term and permanent employment
