Help young people develop the skills they need for life beyond the classroom.
Parker Smith Inclusion is recruiting an Independence Support Mentor for a specialist post-16 SEND setting in Havering.
The setting supports young people aged 16+ with additional needs, including autism, ADHD, communication difficulties and SEMH.
This role is about much more than classroom support. You'll be helping young people develop practical everyday skills, grow in confidence and become more independent as they prepare for adult life.
What will the role involve?
You'll support learners both within the setting and out in the community, helping them develop skills they can use in everyday life.
This could include:
-
Supporting young people with cooking and preparing meals.
-
Helping them learn to shop and manage money.
-
Supporting the use of public transport.
-
Developing communication and social skills.
-
Encouraging confidence and independent decision-making.
-
Helping learners overcome everyday challenges.
-
Building positive relationships and providing consistent support.
Who would suit this role?
Experience in any of the following areas would be beneficial:
Previous post-16 experience isn't essential, but you'll need to be patient, approachable and confident supporting young people with different needs.
We're looking for someone who can encourage independence without taking over, recognise individual progress and build trusting relationships with learners.
