Are you confident, resilient, and passionate about supporting young people with challenging behaviour?

A supportive and inclusive school in Newbury is seeking a Behaviour Mentor to join their team as soon as possible. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is committed to helping pupils overcome behavioural barriers and succeed both in and out of the classroom.

In this role, you will work closely with students who display challenging behaviour, including those with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. You will play a key role in supporting pupils to regulate their emotions, develop positive behaviour strategies, and re-engage with their learning.

As a Behaviour Mentor, you will:

* Work 1:1 and with small groups of pupils who present challenging behaviour

* Support students in managing emotions, triggers, and behaviour responses

* Implement behaviour management strategies and individual behaviour plans

* De-escalate situations calmly and effectively, maintaining a safe environment

* Help establish clear routines, boundaries, and expectations

* Build strong, consistent relationships to encourage trust and engagement

* Work closely with teachers, SEN staff, and external professionals

The school is looking for someone who is calm under pressure, consistent in their approach, and confident in handling challenging situations. Experience working with children or young people with behavioural needs, SEMH, or within youth work, care, or alternative provisions would be highly beneficial.

You will be joining a supportive team that values teamwork and offers guidance, training, and opportunities to develop your skills in behaviour management and SEN support.

This role is ideal for individuals considering careers in education, educational psychology, youth work, or social work.
