We are currently recruiting Behaviour Mentors to work across specialist schools, alternative provisions, and mainstream settings throughout South London. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals with experience in education, youth work, sports coaching, mentoring, social care, or residential support.

The Role

As a Behaviour Mentor, you will work closely with students who require additional support with their behaviour, emotional regulation, and engagement in learning.

• Promoting positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing.
• Managing challenging behaviour using de-escalation techniques.
• Acting as a positive role model and mentor.
• Helping students engage with learning and school life.
• Supporting pupils with SEMH needs, Autism, ADHD, and other additional needs.
• Working collaboratively with teachers, pastoral teams, and external agencies.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience working with young people in education, youth work, mentoring, coaching, residential care, or support work.
• Strong behaviour management and communication skills.
• Ability to remain calm under pressure and build positive relationships.
• Resilient, patient, and empathetic nature.
• Passion for supporting vulnerable children and young people.
• Team Teach training is advantageous but not essential.

What We Offer

• Competitive daily rates.
• Long-term opportunities with the potential for permanent employment.
• Ongoing support from a dedicated education consultant.
• Valuable experience within schools and specialist provisions.
• A rewarding role where you can genuinely make a difference.

Whether you're an experienced Behaviour Mentor or looking to transfer your skills from youth work, sports coaching, care, or support work, we'd love to hear from you.
