Creativity Where It Matters

Behaviour Mentor - SEMH Support (Full-Time)

Location:

South London / Surrey / Kent

Hours:

Full-Time, Monday-Friday (Term Time)

Make a real difference - bring your creativity, empathy, and energy into education.

Tempest Resourcing is working closely with specialist schools and alternative provisions to recruit Behaviour Mentors who are passionate about supporting children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

This role is ideal for creative individuals, aspiring teachers, psychology or youth work graduates, or anyone keen to learn on the job while building meaningful experience in education.

As a Behaviour Mentor, you'll work closely with students who need additional emotional and behavioural support, helping them to:

• Regulate emotions and develop positive coping strategies
• Build confidence, resilience, and self-esteem
• Improve communication and social interaction
• Re-engage with learning in a safe and supportive environment

You’ll be encouraged to use creative approaches such as art, sport, movement, discussion, and mentoring conversations to build strong, trusting relationships.

You don't need prior school experience - attitude and mindset matter most.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Are patient, empathetic, and emotionally resilient
• Communicate positively and calmly, even in challenging situations
• Enjoy creative problem-solving and thinking outside the box
• Are eager to learn and develop your skills on the job
• Are seeking full-time, long-term work in education

Experience with SEMH, behaviour support, youth work, mental health, or care settings is a bonus but not essential.

• Full-time, consistent work with local schools
• On-the-job training and ongoing support
• Opportunities to progress into teaching, SEN, or pastoral roles
• A dedicated consultant who understands SEN education
• Competitive daily rates
• Safeguarding

All roles are subject to safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS.

If you're creative, compassionate, and ready to make a lasting impact on young lives, we'd love to hear from you.
