Graduate Behaviour Mentor

Blue Skies Education Ltd; London; On-site

Job description

Here at Blue Skies Education, we are working in partnership with a very special school that offers education provisions to CYP's (children and young people) with SEMH profiles. The CYP's at this provision do not attend mainstream school as they present behaviours that challenge and need additional support and care in their school life that cannot be facilitated in a mainstream setting.

Often the CYP's at this provision will have a background of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and/or be neuro-divergent (e.g., ADHD, ASC).

We are looking for a behaviour mentor who can mentor, support, and inspire these children and teenagers. It's a truly unique opportunity to change the lives of the students you work with and help guide them through some of the most challenging phases in their young lives.

Ideally, you will be a graduate of a psychology, criminology, or creative arts-based degree (art, drama, music), as these areas offer real value and experience to support different learning platforms with the students.

This position will begin via Blue Skies Education as an agency worker but will present the opportunity for a permanent contract directly with the school if the temporary period is a success for you, the school, and the students.

If you are compassionate, confident, inspiring, a skilled communicator with a genuine interest in making a difference for CYP's (who really need it!), that will supersede a lack of direct experience in a similar role.

Some more info:

1. Hours: 32hrs per week, day shifts over Mon to Fri (term time only)
2. Start Date: ASAP
3. End Date: Indefinite, could become permanent
4. Location: Redbridge
5. Pay: 14 per hour (PAYE)

You will need:

• A valid DBS or be willing to apply for one
• Proof of right to work
• References
• Degree level of education
• UK Residency

In return, we offer a huge opportunity of a permanent contract, significant experience to build your CV/portfolio, and a highly rewarding job in education.

The job vacancy may be closed earlier than the closing date if we secure a suitable candidate, so please apply ASAP to avoid any potential disappointment.

We look forward to receiving your application!
