SEMH Learning Mentor

Looking for a Career You'll Be Proud Of?

There aren't many jobs where you can genuinely see the difference you've made by the end of the day.

As an SEMH Learning Mentor, success isn't always measured by exam results.

Sometimes it's a young person attending school for the first time in weeks.

Sometimes it's helping someone regulate their emotions rather than walking out of a classroom.

Sometimes it's simply being the trusted adult they've never had before.

Elevate Beyond is recruiting SEMH Learning Mentors to support specialist schools and Alternative Provision settings across Greater Manchester.

Every setting is different, but many of our Learning Mentors tell us they value:

• Building meaningful relationships with young people
• Being part of supportive specialist teams
• Greater variety than mainstream education
• Seeing real progress in young people who need it most. No two days are ever the same.

You’ll mentor young people aged 11-19 with complex SEMH needs, providing pastoral support, emotional guidance and encouragement while helping them engage positively with education.

Many learners will have experienced trauma, school refusal, adverse childhood experiences or disrupted education.

Your consistency, patience and encouragement can have a lasting impact.
