Blue Skies Education is working in partnership with a special school that offers education provisions to children and young people with SEMH profiles. The CYP at this provision do not attend mainstream schools as they present behaviours that challenge and need additional support and care that cannot be facilitated in a mainstream setting. We are looking for a behaviour mentor to mentor, support and inspire these children and teenagers. The role offers a truly unique opportunity to change the lives of the students you work with and guide them through some of the most challenging phases in their young lives.
Ideally you will be a graduate of a psychology, criminology or creative arts based degree (art, drama, music) as these areas offer real value and experience to support different learning platforms and angles with the students. This position will begin via Blue Skies Education as an agency worker but will present the opportunity for a permanent contract directly with the school if the temporary period is a success for you, the school and the students.
We are looking for a compassionate, confident and inspiring professional who is a skilled communicator with a genuine interest to make a difference for CYP who really need it. This will supersede a lack of direct experience in a similar role.
