Outreach Learning Mentor – Therapeutic Support for Young People Location: Barking and Dagenham Hours: Full-Time, Monday to Friday | 8:30am – 4:30pm Are you passionate about supporting young people who need someone in their corner? We’re recruiting an Outreach Learning Mentor on behalf of an exceptional therapeutic organisation working across London. This team is dedicated to supporting vulnerable and high-risk young people through a nurturing, no-exclusion approach. In this role, you’ll engage with young people who have been out of education for long periods and may not yet be ready to return to a mainstream setting. Over the course of two terms, you will guide them through a structured programme of induction, assessment, and transition—providing the consistency and therapeutic support they need to take their next steps with confidence. The young people you’ll work with often have SEMH or ASC needs, as well as additional challenges linked to trauma, exploitation, or adverse experiences. Your job will be to build meaningful relationships, support emotional regulation, and offer interventions that empower them to move forward at their own pace. Why This Role Matters This organisation has a strong reputation for transforming lives. Many young people rediscover their confidence, re-engage with learning, and develop emotional resilience thanks to the one-to-one support they receive. One recent example includes a student with a history of exclusions, low attendance, PTSD, and significant behavioural difficulties. Through consistent therapeutic mentoring, they transitioned into a specialist school, achieved 93% attendance, and are now thriving. With your support, more young people can experience this kind of success. Your Key Responsibilities Develop personalised, holistic learning plans Provide one-to-one therapeutic mentoring outside of a classroom setting Help young people progress from disengagement to stability, confidence, and achievement What You’ll Receive Lunch and travel expenses covered during the working day Full-time hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm The chance to work across London, supporting multiple young people What We’re Looking For Experience working with dysregulated behaviour and an understanding of the deeper factors behind it A trauma-informed, therapeutic mindset Compassion, resilience, and a genuine desire to create positive change If you’re motivated by making a real impact and want to be part of a dedicated, supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
