The School
We are looking for YOU! A dedicated Behaviour Mentor to work at this small, specialist school near Redhill. All students have a range of social, emotional and Mental Health needs, and associated challenging behaviours. This role will give you essential restorative experience within anti-social and challenging settings - crucial if you are considering a career in the probation, rehabilitation, prison, or youth justice services. This Behaviour Mentor role is an amazing opportunity for Criminology and Psychology Graduates.
The role will give you hands-on experience working with vulnerable children; and through building strong, robust relationships, you will increase the engagement, attainment and life chances of children, aiming to ensure they do not enter the criminal justice system.
The school has a deep focus on addressing the educational, social and therapeutic needs of students, focusing on individual happiness and well-being where students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
You will be working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with social, emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges and traumas. Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.
