This is not a general school support role

This Behaviour Mentor position is for people who genuinely understand that behaviour is communication.

You will be supporting children and young people with significant social, emotional and mental health needs. This role suits people who are confident working with dysregulation, emotional distress, and challenging behaviour, and who want to make a real difference, not just work in a school environment.

If you are looking for a quiet or general classroom role, this will not be the right fit.

The type of needs you will support

You will be working with pupils who may present with:

SEMH social, emotional and mental health needs
Autism and ASC
ADHD and attention regulation difficulties
Emotional dysregulation and trauma related behaviours
Attachment needs
Communication and interaction difficulties
Sensory processing differences
Some learning difficulties alongside behavioural needs

Many pupils have experienced disrupted education, adverse experiences, or difficulty trusting adults. Your role is to help them feel safe, understood and regulated enough to engage with learning.

Your role as a Behaviour Mentor

Providing 1 to 1 and small group behavioural and emotional support
Supporting pupils during moments of dysregulation or crisis
Implementing behaviour support and regulation strategies
Helping pupils develop emotional literacy and coping skills
Supporting transitions, routines and reintegration into learning
Building strong, consistent relationships with pupils
Supporting de-escalation and positive behaviour approaches
Working closely with teachers, pastoral teams and SEN staff
Recording and feeding back on behaviour and progress

The reality of the role

This role can be emotionally demanding. You may work with pupils who display challenging behaviour, emotional outbursts, or withdrawal. You will need to remain calm, consistent and emotionally regulated yourself.

People who thrive in this role are resilient, patient, reflective and able to separate the behaviour from the child.

This role is ideal for people with backgrounds such as

Behaviour Mentors and Learning Mentors
Youth Workers and Youth Support Workers
SEMH or alternative provision experience
PRU or specialist provision experience
Care or children’s residential support workers
Psychology, criminology or social care graduates
Mentors and pastoral support staff
Those with lived experience of supporting young people with SEMH
Those experienced with de-escalation and trauma informed practice

What you can expect

£95 to £110 per day PAYE only
Full time, term time only
Ongoing support from a specialist SEND consultancy
Honest, transparent recruitment process
Careful matching to settings based on experience and strengths
