Pastoral Support

Role Overview

• Full time
• Immediate start
• Secondary school
• Taunton

We are working with a school in Taunton that is looking for a Pastoral Mentor to start from September on a long‑term contract. The pay rate is £105 to £115 per day depending on experience.

Your role will be to support pupils who need extra help to engage with learning. This may involve one‑to‑one support, small group work, or helping pupils manage their behaviour that stops them accessing the classroom fully.

The school places a strong emphasis on pastoral care. Staff say they are well supported and that training is available to develop skills further. You will be part of a team that works closely to make sure no pupil is left behind.

The role needs patience, empathy and resilience. You won’t fix everything overnight, but you will see the small wins that make the difference: a pupil coming to school more regularly, re‑engaging in class, or building enough confidence to keep going.

If you want a role where you can have a direct impact on pupil progress and wellbeing, this is the right post for you.

If you’re looking for a long‑term or permanent role, we’re the only specialist agency dedicated to finding you your next role.
