Outreach Mentor

Waltham Forest
North East London
£125-135 per day PAYE
Are you ready for a unique new challenge? Do you have experience mentoring within a school setting and are now looking for an exciting new opportunity? We’re working with an inspiring, therapeutic organisation that operates across London. With a no-exclusion policy, they provide vital support to some of the hardest to reach, highest-risk, and most vulnerable young people. This role involves working with young people who may have been out of formal education for several years and are not yet ready to learn in a classroom setting. You will play a crucial part in supporting these young people as they join the organisation, taking responsibility for their induction, assessment, and transition over a two-term period. The young people you’ll be working with often have SEMH and/or ASC diagnoses, along with complex additional needs. Many are at considerable risk of exploitation or have been exposed to violence and trauma. They need someone who can offer stability, understanding, and a therapeutic approach to help them rebuild trust and confidence. Could that person be you? This organisation has a strong record of success. Many of the young people they support go on to re-enter full-time education or employment, learn to regulate their emotions, and begin to process their experiences. Example of impact: One young person with a history of low attendance, multiple exclusions, PTSD, and aggressive behaviour was paired with a specialist mentor. After consistent support and therapeutic intervention, they have transitioned to a specialist school, achieved a 93% attendance rate, and are thriving with a bespoke curriculum that meets their needs. You could be part of a story like this — making a real and lasting difference in young people’s lives. Benefits and what the organisation is looking for What you’ll do: Create holistic learning plans to support young people’s transition back into education Work outside of a classroom environment to provide therapeutic, individualised support Be part of a young person’s journey — from complete disengagement to thriving success What’s on offer: Lunch and travel expenses (during working hours) reimbursed Full-time hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm Travel across London to support multiple students What you’ll need: Confidence in managing dysregulated behaviour and understanding the reasons behind it A trauma-informed approach and passion for therapeutic support Resilience, empathy, and commitment to helping young people achieve positive outcomes If this sounds like the opportunity you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to hear from you. Please call 0203 011 4848 and ask for Elisha, or email elisha@psinclusion.co.uk
