Apply NowCalm when it kicks off? We want to hear from you.
We're recruiting a Behaviour Mentor for a specialist secondary school in Slough supporting young people aged 11 to 19 with social, emotional and mental health needs. Most pupils have an EHCP, and many have been excluded from mainstream. With small classes and plenty of adults around, it's a school where relationships come first.
What you'll be doing
Supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups to manage their behaviour and emotions
Spotting early signs of escalation and stepping in before it builds
De escalating incidents calmly and following each pupil's behaviour plan
Running restorative conversations so pupils can repair and move on
Being a consistent, positive role model across the day, including breaks and lunch
What we're looking for
Experience in a PRU, AP, SEMH school, inclusion unit or pastoral role
OR strong experience with challenging teenagers in youth, care or community work
Team Teach, PRICE or similar training is a big plus (we can arrange it)
Resilience, patience and a sense of humour
Someone who doesn't take things personally and always gives a fresh start
What you'll get
Meaningful work with young people who need you
Ongoing training and support
A welcoming, experienced team
A route to a permanent role
You'll need an enhanced DBS (or be willing to get one) and two references. Apply now and Daanish will be in touch within 24 hours
