The Role - Behaviour Mentor – Lewisham
We are looking for a confident and experienced Behaviour Mentor to join a specialist PRU in Lewisham on a long-term basis, starting immediately. As a Behaviour Mentor, you will work closely with young people who may have experienced difficulties within mainstream education and require additional behavioural, emotional and pastoral support.
You will support students who may present with SEMH, challenging behaviour, ADHD, ASD, emotional regulation difficulties, low engagement, anxiety and additional learning needs.
The role will involve providing 1:1 intervention and small-group support, helping students manage their behaviour, regulate their emotions and overcome barriers to learning.
You will support students both inside and outside the classroom, helping them re-engage with education, develop positive relationships and build confidence in their ability to succeed.
As a Behaviour Mentor, you will use positive behaviour strategies, de-escalation techniques and consistent boundaries to support students during challenging situations. You will work closely with teachers and the wider pastoral team to identify triggers, encourage positive choices and help students make progress. Team Teach or Physical Intervention Training is highly desirable.
