Are you passionate about helping young people reach their potential as a Behaviour Mentor this September?

 

A vibrant SEMH secondary school in Wandsworth is looking to appoint a full-time Behaviour Mentor to join their skilled pastoral team. This Behaviour Mentor role is perfect for someone who is confident, resilient, and enthusiastic about building positive relationships with young people who need extra support managing their behaviour and emotions.

 

As a Behaviour Mentor, you’ll support students aged 11–16, many of whom have social, emotional and mental health needs. You’ll work alongside teachers and therapists to help students regulate behaviour, re-engage with learning, and build trust within the school environment.

 

Key responsibilities:

  • Delivering behaviour and wellbeing support strategies throughout the school day
  • Leading de-escalation and regulation activities during periods of dysregulation
  • Mentoring students through restorative conversations and daily check-ins
  • Supporting teachers with classroom routines and transitions
  • Contributing to behaviour plans and positive handling protocols (training provided)

 

We’re looking for:

  • Experience working with young people in education, youth work, or mental health settings
  • Strong communication and conflict-resolution skills
  • A patient, proactive and emotionally intelligent approach

 

What’s on offer:

  • Structured induction and regular CPD
  • A well-resourced and well-supported SEMH setting
  • Opportunity to train in Team Teach and Trauma-Informed Practice
  • Excellent career pathways into education or social care
