SEMH Outreach Mentor
London | Immediate Start | £121 per day PAYE
We are recruiting for an inspiring therapeutic outreach service working across London. The service operates with a no exclusion approach, supporting some of the most vulnerable, high-risk and hard-to-reach young people.
This role involves working with young people who may have been out of formal education for a significant period and are currently unable to cope within a traditional classroom environment. You will play a key role in re-engaging learners as they begin their journey with the outreach service.
The young people supported will have SEMH and/or ASC diagnoses, alongside complex additional needs. Many may have experienced trauma, exploitation, or exposure to violence and instability. They require consistent, skilled support to help them re-engage with education and begin to regulate and rebuild.
This service has a strong track record of success, with many young people progressing into full-time education or employment and beginning to thrive both academically and emotionally. For example, a young person with significant barriers including low attendance, exclusions, PTSD and challenging behaviour was supported through a tailored mentoring approach and is now attending a specialist setting with strong engagement, improved attendance and active participation in restorative work.
This is a genuinely impactful opportunity for someone who is committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
Key responsibilities and requirements:
- Support the development of holistic learning and engagement plans to aid transition back into education
- Work outside of a traditional classroom setting, often in community-based environments
- Support highly vulnerable young people on a 1:1 basis across London
- Manage and respond to dysregulated behaviour with confidence and understanding of underlying causes
- Work in a trauma-informed and therapeutic way, supporting emotional regulation and trust-building
- Full-time availability required: 8:30am–4:30pm, Monday to Friday
- Willingness to travel across London to meet the needs of learners
- Lunch and travel expenses (during working hours) reimbursed
