Primary SEMH Mentor 

Location: Wembley, North West London
Pay: £500–£550 per week, depending on experience
Contract: Full-time | Long-term

Are you passionate about helping primary-aged children overcome barriers to learning, develop confidence and build positive relationships?

Could you be the consistent, supportive adult who helps a child feel safe, understood and ready to engage with education?

Parker Smith Inclusion is recruiting a Primary SEMH Mentor for a long-term opportunity in Wembley, supporting primary-aged pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.

This role is ideal for someone who understands that behaviour is often a form of communication and that building trust, consistency and positive relationships can make a significant difference to a child's development.

About the Role

You will support pupils who may experience difficulties with emotional regulation, social interaction, behaviour and engagement in the classroom.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing individual mentoring and emotional support.

• Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils.

• Supporting children with emotional regulation and self-confidence.

• Using positive behaviour management and de-escalation strategies.

• Helping pupils develop social skills and independence.

• Encouraging engagement with learning and classroom routines.

• Supporting children through challenging situations and transitions.

• Working closely with teachers and wider pastoral and SEND teams.

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience as:

• SEMH Teaching Assistants or Mentors.

• Primary Teaching Assistants.

• Behaviour Mentors or Behaviour Support Workers.

• Pastoral Support Workers or Learning Mentors.

• Youth Workers with experience supporting children.

• SEND professionals with experience supporting emotional and behavioural needs.

You will need to be patient, resilient, approachable and confident supporting children who may display challenging behaviour.

Why This Role Matters

For some children, accessing education successfully starts with having the right adult alongside them.

A consistent mentor can help pupils develop trust, manage their emotions, build confidence and begin to see school as a positive environment.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference beyond the classroom, supporting children through some of their most important developmental years.

What You Can Expect

• Full-time, long-term opportunity.

• £500–£550 weekly pay, depending on experience.

• PAYE payment.

• Ongoing support from Parker Smith Inclusion.

• The opportunity to develop your experience within a primary SEMH environment.
