This specialist secondary SEMH school in Surrey is looking for an outstanding Learning Mentor to support pupils aged 11-16 who have experienced significant barriers to education.

- Extensive training in SEMH, behaviour and trauma-informed practice
- Genuine progression into pastoral, behaviour and safeguarding roles

As a Learning Mentor, you'll become a consistent adult for pupils who need stability, encouragement and belief.

What the School is Looking For:
The school is looking for resilient, patient and emotionally intelligent individuals who can build trust and remain calm under pressure. Experience in education is welcomed, but backgrounds in youth work, mentoring, residential care, coaching or similar environments are equally valued.
