About the Role

Learning Mentor – East London

Do you have a passion and talent for supporting children and young people with social emotional and mental health disorders?

Do you have experience working with young people who are not able to attend mainstream school and have a background of behavioural challenges? Are you keen to make a difference to the lives of children and young people whilst building your experience and furthering your career in SEND/SEMH?

I am actively seeking engaging and passionate Learning Mentors for schools that provide education to children who are unable to be educated in a mainstream school due to behaviour difficulties and SEMH. I am looking to speak to professional and committed Learning Mentors to work in a variety of settings in East London

Even if your experience is informal/voluntary, I want to hear from you! The children you will support will have a variety of needs which can include significant complex behaviour challenges and sometimes associated SEND.

SEMH Education Settings

We are looking for Learning Mentors for a variety of SEMH specialist settings including Pupil Referral Units, SEMH specialist schools, CAHMS Education services, Behaviour provisions within mainstream settings and Local Authority outreach teams.

We support Education providers that educate children and young people who for many reasons cannot access any other formal educational settings – these are the most vulnerable, at risk and hard to reach in our community. Understanding their SEMH needs must be met before any academic development can happen. Understanding their SEMH needs is essential in these roles and we are seeking individuals who can make a positive impact.

Learning Mentor requirements:

● Experience of working with young people with SEND and/or Autism, ADHD, sensory processing difficulties and learning difficulties or experience with SEMH, Trauma, Sensory processing, social communication

● Learning Mentor / Youth Worker experience

● Ability to build strong and meaningful relationships

● A passion for working with SEND is essential

What you can expect as a Learning Mentor:

● Excellent experience and training for aspiring Teachers, Pastoral workers, Child Psychologists, Educational Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Counsellors, and Social Workers

●The opportunity to make a huge social impact, as a Learning Mentor you could change the path of someone’s life!
