Long Term Futures are looking for a confident and resilient Behaviour Mentor to support young people within a small, supportive education setting in TF4.

This role is ideal for someone who builds positive relationships quickly and can support pupils who may struggle with behaviour, engagement and emotional regulation. You'll work closely with teaching and pastoral staff to help pupils remain focused, make positive choices and re-engage with learning.

In this role, you will:

• Provide targeted 1:1 and small-group support for pupils who need additional behavioural or emotional guidance
• Build positive, trusting relationships with young people who may have struggled to engage in education previously
• Support pupils with emotional regulation, confidence, resilience and positive decision-making
• Help manage and de-escalate challenging situations using a calm, consistent and restorative approach
• Encourage pupils to engage with lessons, routines and wider school expectations
• Work alongside teachers, pastoral staff and senior leaders to implement individual behaviour strategies
• Recognise triggers and patterns in behaviour and respond appropriately to help prevent escalation
• Act as a positive role model, promoting respect, responsibility and appropriate boundaries
• Provide feedback to staff on pupil progress, engagement and any ongoing support needs

We're looking for:

• Previous experience supporting children or young people with challenging behaviour, SEMH needs or additional needs
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to gain trust without losing professional boundaries
• The ability to remain consistent and composed when behaviour becomes challenging
• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a wider staff team
• A genuine interest in helping young people overcome barriers and re-engage with education
