Start Date:
Immediate / April 2026

Are you a Psychology graduate or a Youth Worker looking to transition into a clinical or educational career? Use your experience in mentorship and emotional intelligence to support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This is more than a "job" - it is a foundation for a career in Educational Psychology, Social Work, or Teaching.

For many young people, traditional classrooms feel out of reach. As an SEMH Behaviour Mentor, you aren't just managing conduct; you are decoding the "why" behind the behaviour. We are looking for resilient individuals—from Psychology graduates to ex-Sports Coaches who want to gain high-level experience in a specialist SEN (Special Educational Needs) environment.

• Career Progression:
  Perfect for those seeking hours for a Doctorate in Educational Psychology or a PGCE.
• Specialist CPD (2026):
  Gain certified training in Trauma-Informed Practice, Team-Teach (De-escalation), and Mental Health First Aid.
• Weekly Pay:
  Competitive daily rates (£90 - £95) paid via Randstad with no "umbrella company" hidden fees.
• Supportive Community:
  Work alongside SENCOs and Speech & Language Therapists in a resource-rich, collaborative hub.

In this full-time role, you will act as a 1:1 specialist for students with ADHD, ASD, and Attachment Disorders.

• Build Therapeutic Alliances:
  Use a "Relational Approach" to build trust with students who have disengaged from learning.
• Behaviour Intervention:
  Implement Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plans and help pupils manage emotional triggers.
• Small Group Support:
  Facilitate "Nurture Groups" focusing on social skills, resilience, and emotional literacy.
• Progress Tracking:
  Maintain detailed logs on student engagement to support EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) reviews.

To be successful in this SEN Mentor role, you should possess:

• Education/
  
  Experience:
  
  A degree in Psychology, Sociology, or Criminology OR 1+ years of experience in Youth Work/Social Care.
• Resilience:
  The ability to handle challenging verbal and physical behaviours with a calm, non-judgemental "can-do" attitude.
• Communication:
  Strong interpersonal skills to liaise with parents, teachers, and external healthcare professionals.
• Compliance:
  An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (we can assist with a new application if required).
