Location: Burnham Pay: £92.63 per day Hours: 8:30am – 3:30pm, Monday to Friday We are currently looking for a committed, resilient and empathetic Behaviour Support Mentor to join a Pupil Referral Unit in Burnham, working with secondary-aged pupils who have been excluded from mainstream education. This role offers the chance to have a real and lasting impact on young people who often face significant barriers to learning, including social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs and challenging behaviour. You will be supporting students in both one-to-one and small group settings, helping them to rebuild their confidence, re-engage with education and develop more positive patterns of behaviour. A key part of the role is acting as a stable and trusted adult, helping pupils to form appropriate relationships, regulate their emotions and move towards more positive life choices. This is a role that requires calmness, consistency and confidence, particularly when managing behaviour and de-escalating difficult situations. You will need to be able to set firm but fair boundaries while maintaining a supportive and respectful approach. Strong communication skills are essential, along with the ability to build rapport quickly with young people who may have had disrupted or difficult educational experiences. An interest in sport or physical activity would be beneficial, as these are often effective ways of engaging pupils and building positive connections. We welcome applications from those with backgrounds such as SEMH support roles, youth work, sports coaching, prison or probation services, social care or other positions involving behaviour management and mentoring vulnerable individuals. Experience is important, but equally valued is the right attitude, resilience and a genuine desire to support young people to make positive change. This is a full-time, term-time position within a supportive team environment, offering consistent working hours and the opportunity to be part of meaningful progress in pupils’ lives. If you are passionate about helping young people overcome challenges and reach their potential, we would like to hear from you.
