SEN Mentors

SEN Mentors - Dorset & Wiltshire

Job Details

We are currently recruiting Mentors to support children and young people across Dorset and Wiltshire through personalised 1:1 mentoring programmes. Working in partnership with Local Authorities, you'll support students who require alternative educational provision and benefit from consistent, positive role models.

This is an excellent opportunity for those looking for rewarding and flexible work over the summer, with opportunities to continue into the new academic year.

Rather than focusing on academic attainment, these roles centre around building confidence, developing engagement, supporting emotional wellbeing, and helping young people overcome barriers to education. Many learners require support to re-engage with learning, develop routines, and improve their overall wellbeing.

• Locations: Dorset & Wiltshire
• Pay Rate: £25-£30 per hour
• Hours: Flexible
• Start Dates: Immediate and ongoing opportunities available
• Type: 1:1 Mentoring

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay rates of £25-£30 per hour
• Flexible work that fits around your existing commitments
• Ideal summer opportunity with long-term placements available
• Choose the hours that work for you
• Free training and ongoing support available
• Opportunities to work alongside Local Authorities supporting vulnerable learners
• Rewarding 1:1 support with the chance to make a lasting impact on a young person's development

Who We're Looking For

• A minimum of 6 months' experience working in an educational setting
• Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants, Mentors, Cover Supervisors, Teachers, Tutors, and other education professionals
• Individuals with a patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one

Young People You May Support

Many of the students we work with have needs including:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs
• ADHD
• Anxiety and school avoidance
• Communication and interaction needs

No two placements are the same, making mentoring a varied, fulfilling, and highly impactful role.
