Learning And Behaviour Mentor - The Pivot Academy

Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of The Pivot Academy

At Pivot we believe children deserve better. In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages 1 – 4 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement. Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some of the most complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with traumatic backgrounds.

At Pivot 6, we offer specialist support for KS4 children who have been permanently excluded from mainstream school. Our aim in Pivot 6 is to support students academically and socially to prepare them for transition back into mainstream school.

We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and resilient Learning and Behaviour Mentor to support our young people across Pivot 6. We are looking for a candidate who has experience of working with young people with complex needs, who can engage and inspire.

This is a key role supporting learners in a classroom environment by addressing the barriers to learning, in order to enable them to achieve their full potential. Through innovative, creative and professional practice, you will be able to engage our young people and inspire them to learn new skills and develop their self-esteem. Although this area can be challenging, we can offer the right candidate a supportive and fun working environment.

Working at Pivot will give you a real chance to change our student’s lives and we truly believe you will find working here a rewarding experience.
