Contract: Full-time, Term Time Only
TalentED Recruiters are working with a supportive secondary school in Ipswich who are looking for a Behaviour Mentor to join their pastoral team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building positive relationships with young people and wants to make a genuine difference to students who may be struggling with behaviour, attendance, confidence or engagement in school.
You will work closely with students, helping them to overcome barriers to learning, make positive choices and feel supported within the school environment.
The Role
As a Behaviour Mentor, you will:
- Build positive and trusting relationships with students.
- Provide one-to-one and small group support where required.
- Support students who may display challenging behaviour or struggle with emotional regulation.
- Help students develop confidence, resilience and positive attitudes towards education.
- Encourage positive behaviour and support students in making better choices.
- Identify barriers to learning and work with students to overcome them.
- Support attendance, engagement and overall wellbeing.
- Work closely with teachers, pastoral staff and families to ensure students receive the right support.
- Help create a calm, safe and positive environment across the school.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who is calm, approachable, resilient and passionate about supporting young people.
Experience working with children or young people is essential. This could include experience in:
- Schools or educational settings
- Behaviour or pastoral support
- SEN/SEMH settings
- Youth work or mentoring
- Residential or care settings
- Sports coaching
- Community or support work
You don't necessarily need to have worked as a Behaviour Mentor before — the right attitude, experience and ability to build strong relationships with young people are what matter most.
You will need to be confident dealing with challenging situations and able to remain calm and professional when supporting students with complex needs or behaviours.
