Not every student arrives at school ready to learn. Some arrive carrying challenges that cannot be seen. Some arrive feeling misunderstood. Some arrive believing they have already been written off.

This is where exceptional Behaviour Mentors make a difference.

• Work closely with teaching staff, pastoral teams and external professionals

• Help implement behaviour support plans and intervention strategies

• Monitor, record and report on student progress and wellbeing

• Support break times, transitions and other key periods throughout the school day

• Promote high expectations, resilience and personal accountability

• Uphold safeguarding procedures and promote student welfare at all times

We're looking for someone who:
