Are you a Criminology or Social Science graduate looking to make a real, positive difference in the lives of young people? Do you want to be part of a solution-focused team dedicated to building brighter futures, breaking down barriers, and guiding young people toward their full potential?
Milk Education, a wellbeing-led and eco-friendly education agency, is seeking passionate and resilient graduates to join a specialist SEMH school in Maidenhead.
This is not just a job—it's a chance to inspire change, build trust, and become a role model for young people who need it most.
The Role
Location: Maidenhead
Pay: £108 per day
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am-3:45pm (term time only)
Start Dates: September 2026

This specialist SEMH school supports pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs, often shaped by life experiences such as trauma, adversity, or community challenges. We believe every young person has the potential to succeed, and we are looking for mentors who share that belief.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build trusting, consistent relationships with young people, helping them feel heard, valued, and supported
- Encourage emotional literacy and self‑awareness through mentoring and restorative conversations
- Support pupils in developing resilience, self‑regulation, and positive decision‑making skills
- Work 1:1 and in small groups, delivering intervention programmes that promote pro‑social behaviour and personal growth
- Celebrate progress, no matter how small, and help pupils recognise their own strengths
- Collaborate with staff to create a safe, nurturing environment where every pupil can thrive
- Support community safety work, helping young people make positive choices and avoid risks such as exploitation or peer pressure
This role is a stepping stone into careers in Forensic Psychology, Youth Justice, Social Work, Counselling, Probation, and Mental Health Services.
Why This Role Matters
