Change a Child's Story

Every child deserves someone who believes in them.

We're working with a specialist SEMH school in North London that is looking for a compassionate and resilient Therapeutic Learning Mentor to support pupils aged 5–16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism.

This is more than a classroom role. You'll become a trusted adult, helping pupils build confidence, regulate emotions, and rediscover a love of learning in a nurturing, trauma-informed environment.

Your Role

• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils.
• Support emotional regulation, wellbeing, and engagement in learning.
• Deliver targeted interventions to develop resilience, confidence, and social skills.
• Use restorative and therapeutic approaches to promote positive behaviour.
• Work closely with teachers, therapists, and safeguarding teams to provide consistent support in and out of the classroom.

What We're Looking For

• Experience supporting children or young people with SEMH, Autism, SEND, behavioural or mental health needs.
• A background in education, youth work, mentoring, care, psychology, or a related field.
• A calm, patient, and empathetic approach with excellent communication skills.

Why Join?

• £100–£120 per day (PAYE).
• Long-term role with the opportunity to secure a permanent position.
• Excellent training and clear career progression.
• Access to onsite wellbeing facilities, including therapy dogs and an onsite gym after school hours.
• The opportunity to make a genuine, lasting impact on young people's lives every day.
