Learning Mentor Academic - Internal Inclusion

“We are characterised by how we treat our people”

We are incredibly proud of our ambitious, curriculum focused, research-driven school. Our vision is built around the principles of ambition, respect and belonging and we have a strong commitment to the development of our staff as outstanding professionals.

We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and organised learning mentor, with the skills and ability to support our students to achieve. The successful candidate will establish positive relationships to promote excellent learning, identify appropriate small group interventions including academic support in Maths, English and Science, analyse data to support referral routes into small group provision and advise the wider school inclusion referral panel. This role will also lead on our Year 7 Transition Support Programme, providing targeted, structured support to ensure all students settle successfully into school life. The provision focuses on developing self-esteem, confidence and learning readiness, enabling pupils to fully access the curriculum and achieve in line with our high expectations for all. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a hard-working team, committed to ensuring our young people are supported to achieve.

We are looking for a Learning Mentor who will:

• Develop positive relationships with students to assist their progress and attainment
• Plan and implement structured learning activities
• Monitor and review student achievements relating to their progress and individual targets including support with academic progress in core subjects
• Model commitment, resilience, patience, hard work and a good sense of humour
• Support planning to remove barriers to learning
• Support “inclusion by design” in making sure students have access to the curriculum.

Subject expertise in KS4 English, Maths or Science would be an advantage but is not essential. This may have been achieved in a previous role or through other activities such as tuition.
