Behaviour Mentor

Are you interested in working in education, with a passion for supporting pupils most in need? Do you have a background in mentoring that you'd like to apply to the classroom? Are you a behaviour specialist who would like to apply their knowledge within an educational environment? If so, Team Educate would love to hear from you!

Team Educate are urgently looking for a Behaviour Mentor to work with students in an Alternative Provision setting in the Warwick area from next week. We are keen to hear from professionals with either a background in education, experience with challenging behaviour, or those who have experience of mentoring young people. We would equally love to hear from you if you are a recent graduate in a related field (Psychology, Education Studies, Sociology) or a Sports Coach and are looking for a challenging and extremely rewarding new role as a Behaviour Mentor.

The Behaviour Mentor role will involve working closely with young learners within the classroom setting, as well as on a 1:1 basis, to provide behavioural support, mentoring and coaching, as well as academic support. You may be required to work with specific pupils and support them in their lessons, or you may be working 1-to-1 with pupils who follow alternative provision for behaviour coaching. The ability to communicate 'on the same level' as the young learners you'll work with and being able to build rapport with young people quickly and easily will be vital in this position.

The successful Behaviour Mentor will:

• Provide guidance and support to individuals in a mentoring relationship
• Help pupils set and achieve personal and academic goals
• Share knowledge and expertise in a specific field or area of interest
• Assist pupils in developing new skills and overcoming challenges
• Act as a role model and provide positive reinforcement to pupils
• Foster a supportive and trusting relationship with a range of pupils

Behaviour Mentors will need:

• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• Active listening skills to understand individual pupils' needs and concerns
• Empathy and the ability to relate to individuals from diverse backgrounds
• Strong interpersonal skills to build rapport with pupils
• Patience and the ability to provide constructive feedback
• Registration with the DBS Update Service

Behaviour Mentors working with Team Educate will benefit from:

• Support, advice and guidance from experienced teaching professionals
• A competitive daily pay rate
• A highly rewarding and fulfilling role, supporting pupils who will really benefit from your support and guidance
• Building a strong network of education professionals across schools in Birmingham
• Opportunities to secure longer-term employment if desired

As a Behaviour Mentor, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others by sharing your knowledge, experience, and support. This role requires strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to build meaningful relationships. If you are passionate about helping others succeed and thrive, we would love for you to join Team Educate in their mission to support schools in the area.
