SEMH Outreach Mentor
£121 per day PAYE
Are you passionate about changing the lives of the most vulnerable young people?
We are working with an inspiring, therapeutic outreach service that supports some of the hardest-to-reach young people across London. With a strict no exclusion policy, this service is dedicated to those who need support the most—young people who are currently unable to access mainstream or specialist school settings.
This is not your typical classroom-based role.
You will support young people who may have been out of education for extended periods, helping them re-engage with learning in a way that feels safe, structured, and achievable. You’ll play a vital role in their journey back into education, employment, and long-term stability.
About the young people:
You will be working with children and young people with SEMH and/or ASC, often alongside complex additional needs. Many are at significant risk of exploitation or have experienced trauma, including exposure to violence or abuse.
They need consistency, understanding, and someone who genuinely cares. Could that be you?
The impact you’ll make:
This service has an exceptional success rate—supporting young people to transition back into full-time education or employment, while developing emotional regulation and beginning to process trauma.
For example, one young person with a history of low attendance, multiple exclusions, PTSD, and highly dysregulated behaviour is now:
- Attending a specialist school with 93% attendance
- Engaging in restorative practice groups
- Thriving on a bespoke curriculum
This could be the impact you have.
What you’ll be doing:
- Delivering 1:1 outreach support in community settings
- Creating holistic, personalised learning plans
- Supporting emotional regulation and engagement
- Acting as a consistent, trusted adult in a young person’s life
- Helping young people transition back into education
Why this role?
- Be part of life-changing journeys
- Work outside of a traditional classroom setting
- Join a highly supportive, therapeutic team
- Travel and lunch expenses reimbursed during working hours
- Truly meaningful and rewarding work
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is confident supporting young people with dysregulated behaviour
- Understands trauma-informed practice (or is keen to develop in this area)
- Is patient, resilient, and compassionate
- Can build strong, trusting relationships
- Is happy to travel across London to support multiple students
- Is available full-time (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm)
If you're ready to be part of something genuinely life-changing, we would love to hear from you.
