Calm when it kicks off? We want to hear from you.
We're recruiting a Behaviour Mentor for a specialist secondary school in Slough supporting young people aged 11 to 19 with social, emotional and mental health needs.

What you'll be doing
- Supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups to manage their behaviour and emotions
- Spotting early signs of escalation and stepping in before it builds
- De escalating incidents calmly and following each pupil's behaviour plan
- Running restorative conversations so pupils can repair and move on
- Being a consistent, positive role model across the day, including breaks and lunch
What we're looking for
- Experience in a PRU, AP, SEMH school, inclusion unit or pastoral role
- OR strong experience with challenging teenagers in youth, care or community work
- Team Teach, PRICE or similar training is a big plus (we can arrange it)
- Resilience, patience and a sense of humour
- Someone who doesn't take things personally and always gives a fresh start
What you'll get
- Meaningful work with young people who need you
- Ongoing training and support
- A welcoming, experienced team
- A route to a permanent role
You’ll need an enhanced DBS (or be willing to get one) and two references.
