Reintegration and Outreach Learning Mentor - The Quay School

We require someone to work with intervention students who will be spending 2 days a week on our Harbourside base, these students will struggle with their social, emotional and mental health which has resulted in them struggling to engage at their mainstream school. This role will involve helping the students to re-integrate back into their mainstream school following the intervention place. It will also involve working in mainstream schools with groups of students who are struggling to engage and the staff who work with them to support them in developing strategies etc. to help prevent exclusions.

This role needs someone who can form positive relationships with young people to do this you will need to show patience, care and understanding. You will receive training to support you in this role. You will be part of an inclusive and collaborative team that, no matter what the challenge may be, are ready to face it head on and are committed to seeing it through. You will need to be flexible, resilient and positive.

Your own transport with the correct insurance will be needed as you will be visiting local schools (mileage is fully reimbursed). Previous experience of working with young people with additional needs is desired but not essential, although a reasonable grasp of basic IT programmes is a must.
