Think for the Future’s mission is to engage, educate and empower young people to have social and emotional resilience and independence in order to achieve their potential. The pupils we work with are often disengaged from education, close to exclusion or have low aspirations and, at Think for the Future, we offer the opportunity for them to strive and succeed in both their academic and non-academic outcomes, through improvements in resilience, aspirations, behaviour and academic success.

To deliver our interventions, we employ relatable individuals who are able to create strong and lasting rapport with these young people and confidently deliver our comprehensive social and emotional resilience programme. Mentors deliver sessions in both group and one-to-one settings, tailored in a way that targets improvements in educational outcomes for the pupils they work with.

Our Behaviour & Inclusion Mentors are allocated to one of our three in‑school provisions:
Behaviour & Resilience Mentoring, Inclusion Centre Provision, Integrated Behaviour Hubs. If you’re successful, our team will allocate you to a provision based on your experience and role availability. Once you start in a provision there is lots of opportunity to progress into other TFTF provisions and continue developing your experience and skill set! Unlike many in‑school roles, working directly with young people, this role requires no lesson planning, no marking and a healthy 8am-4pm term‑time only work structure.
