We are looking for a Behaviour Mentor to support pupils who may display challenging behaviour linked to Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs or other barriers to learning. This role requires a high level of initiative and reliability. It is a rewarding position for anyone eager to help students regulate emotions, build positive relationships, and re‑engage with their education.

• Work closely with pupils on a 1:1 basis or in small groups
• Support students to manage behaviour and make positive choices
• Use de‑escalation and restorative approaches
• Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils and staff
• Support classroom learning and help reinforce behavioural and emotional targets
• Maintain consistent boundaries and act as a positive role model

• Emotionally resilient and able to stay calm in challenging situations
• Strong communicator with a positive and proactive mindset
• Able to build rapport with young people, particularly those who may struggle to trust adults
• Previous experience isn’t essential, but backgrounds in youth work, care, mental health, sport, or support work are valuable

• A supportive consultant who will help find the right school for you
• Ongoing behaviour support training and CPD
• Opportunity to progress into a permanent role
• Free, high‑quality SEND and behaviour management training throughout the year

Daily rate of pay would be £89.66 but there is potential to earn more based on experience. Holiday pay is included.

Pay:
Five Education operates a PAYE payroll – the most transparent way to be paid, with no hidden fees.

DBS:
If you do not have a non‑voluntary enhanced DBS on the update service, we will need to process a new one at a cost of £62.70. This cost will be refunded after 20 days of work, provided you have updated your DBS.

Vetting:
Successful candidates will undergo reference checks, TRA checks and must have DBS. A face‑to‑face interview will also be required.

We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, as they are currently under‑represented at this level.
