Behaviour Mentor – Camden

Camden, Central London
£110–£130 per day, depending on experience
Full-time | Long-term cover
Immediate start

I am recruiting a Behaviour Mentor to support a young person in a Camden school who needs a consistent adult to help with social interaction, confidence and engagement with the school day.

The pupil is academically capable but experiences significant barriers around socialisation and relationships. The school is therefore looking for someone calm, dependable and confident building trust over time.

The priority is to find someone who can become a familiar daily presence and provide stability while the pupil’s usual 1:1 member of staff is absent.

The role

You will work closely with one pupil and support him across the school day.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Building a positive and consistent professional relationship

• Supporting social interaction and communication

• Helping the pupil navigate difficult or unfamiliar situations

• Supporting engagement with lessons

• Helping with routines and transitions

• Encouraging positive choices and independence

• Recognising when the pupil may need reassurance, structure or space

• Working closely with teaching and SEND staff

• Providing feedback on engagement, behaviour and progress

• Maintaining clear and appropriate professional boundaries

What are we looking for?

Essential:

• Previous experience working with children or young people

• Strong relationship-building skills

• A calm and emotionally resilient approach

• Reliability and consistency

• Confidence supporting behaviour and social needs

• Good communication skills

Desirable:

• Previous Behaviour Mentor experience

• Autism / ASC experience

• 1:1 support experience

• SEMH or SEND experience

• Youth work or mentoring background

• Experience supporting secondary-aged pupils

Why consider this role?

This is a role where consistency matters.

For the pupil, having the same trusted adult available each day can make a significant difference to how confidently he approaches school, relationships and social situations.

You will have the opportunity to understand one young person in depth and help him develop greater confidence and independence over time.
