School Behaviour Mentor | Specialist SEN School | Harlesden, North West London | £500–£600 per week PAYE
Do you understand that when a young person shuts down, acts out, or walks away they are not being difficultthey are asking for help in the only language they have left?
Can you be the adult who stays steady when everything around a young person feels unstable, who holds boundaries with warmth rather than rigidity, and who turns up every single day with the same calm, the same belief, and the same commitment? Are you someone who measures success not in grades but in trust and knows that trust, once earned, can change everything?
If that sounds like you, a specialist SEN school in Harlesden wants to meet you.
The school
This is a school that understands its pupils deeply. The young people here have often experienced disrupted education, exclusion, or trauma and many have learned that adults and institutions cannot be relied upon. That is exactly why this school has built its entire approach around structure, consistency, and relationship-based support. Routines are clear, behaviour systems are well-established, and the staff around you are experienced, supportive, and genuinely invested in the young people they serve. This is a setting where the right person can do some of the most meaningful work of their career.
The role
As their new School Behaviour Mentor, you will be a consistent, grounding presence for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs supporting them through lessons, transitions, and unstructured times when dysregulation is most likely to occur. You will build 1:1 relationships with pupils who have every reason to be guarded, use calm and trauma-informed approaches to manage behaviour, help young people regulate their emotions and gradually re-engage with learning, and work closely with teachers, pastoral teams, and therapists to support behaviour plans and contribute to EHCP targets.
Progress here is gradual and centred entirely around relationships and that is precisely what makes it so rewarding.
This is not a role for someone who needs quick results. This is a role for someone who understands that slow, steady, relationship-based progress is the most powerful kind.
Who this is for
- Candidates from a youth work, PRU, alternative provision or specialist SEN background
- People with experience in residential care or settings supporting young people facing significant adversity
- Calm, resilient individuals who are confident with challenging behaviour
- Anyone genuinely motivated by the kind of progress that others might overlook
What's on offer
- £500–£600 per week PAYE no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
- Full-time, term-time only with a genuine pathway to a permanent position
- CPD in behaviour support, SEMH and trauma-informed practice
- Supportive leadership team with clear systems and strong pastoral structures
- Opportunity to progress within SEN and specialist education settings
Why this role matters
For many of the pupils in this school, education has been a source of pain rather than possibility. The right School Behaviour Mentor can begin to change that not through programmes or paperwork, but through presence, consistency, and an unshakeable belief that every young person is worth showing up for.
If you are ready to be that person, we would love to hear from you.
