Student Support Mentor; SEMH

About the role

The Young People You'll Meet Won't Remember Every Lesson. But they'll remember the people who never gave up on them.

As a Student Support Mentor, you'll become one of those people. Working within specialist SEMH schools, PRUs, Alternative Provision academies and community‑based programmes, you'll support young people aged 11‑19 who may have experienced trauma, disrupted education or significant barriers to learning. You'll help them rebuild confidence, develop resilience, celebrate progress, and believe that education still has a place in their future.

Every day will look different, but your impact will remain the same.
