Our vision is for our mentor team to continue to tackle barriers to learning, promote pupil engagement, reduce the risk of exclusions and form a highly effective provision alongside our established wellbeing team, SEND provision and wider learning support model. As well as working with identified pupils, within your mentoring role, you will take on a highly effective and well-established pupil volunteering system.
From September 2026, we are looking for an enthusiastic and talented individual to take on the role of Assistant Learning Mentor and work alongside another Assistant Learning Mentor in the team. You will support our pupils, families and staff to help children overcome barriers and get the most out of school life. You will be expected to support and build on all of the key work led by the SENCO and act as a professional sounding board for new ideas.
You will need to have a background in schools and have proven expertise in pupil support – including working with challenging and potentially marginalised pupils and their families.
We expect you to have the resilience and creativity to work with those challenging pupils on a day-to-day basis and to form positive bonds with them and their families – taking a key lead on this from the Assistant Head.
