About the Role

Are you ready for a unique new challenge?

This is an inspiring educational organisation that works across London. They have a no exclusion policy and support the hardest to reach, high risk and most vulnerable young people. This role is supporting young people who may have been out of formal education for several years and are unable at this time to cope with learning in a classroom.

These young people may have an ASC and/or SEMH diagnosis, alongside complex additional needs. They may be at considerable risk of exploitation or been exposed to extreme violence and abuse in their homes. They need someone to help. Could this be you?

They are looking for resilient and compassionate Outreach Therapeutic Mentors, your role will be supporting an extremely vulnerable young person on a 1:1 basis out in the community, maybe within their home or a local library, with the intent of helping them eventually over time become ready to be able to go into a specialist school setting and learn alongside their peers.  

This process starts with building a bond between you, most of these students will have gone through ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and will have indicators of PTSD, trust needs to be earned over time. Once the trust is there you will be therapeutically supporting them with fully bespoke educational plans that suit their needs.

This organisation has a high success rate in that young people are eventually are back in full time education or employment, and on top of that thriving, able to regulate their emotions and begin to process their trauma. An example of this is a young person with previous low school attendance, multiple exclusions, PTSD, and extremely aggressive behaviour. After being assigned a specialist mentor and working together, this young person has now transitioned to a specialist school, has a 93% attendance record, is part of restorative groups helping him to process his trauma and is thriving with a bespoke curriculum.   

You can also be a part of someone’s success story, this really is an incredible and unique opportunity for someone who really does want to change lives

Benefits and what they are looking for

  • Being away from a classroom setting and being able to be creative in your support strategies
  • The ability to assist students with their educational activities, including online learning and project-based assignments
  • Being a part of the journey of the most vulnerable, complex young people, from being unable to access any education to then thriving, all with your help!
  • Lunch and travel expenses (during working hours) reimbursed
  • 2 years experience with SEMH in an educational setting 
  • You must be available full time 8.30-4.30 Monday to Friday
  • You must be prepared on occasion to travel up to 1.5 hours if you are needed to support a young person in need
  • Someone who is confident in managing dysregulated behaviour and fully understanding why  this behaviour occurs
  • Trauma informed and passionate about Therapeutic support

Please get in touch if this advert inspires you and be a part of changing a young person's life
