We are recruiting an additional Learning Mentor to join our expanding new school, providing support to our students in lessons, identifying their strengths and difficulties. The successful candidates will carry out effective intervention, which may be 1:1 or in a small group, planning appropriate personalised interventions as necessary. You will support teachers to enable our students to access learning by supervising and assisting them across a wide range of activities and supported learning activities.
The Learning Mentor will undertake activities with either individuals or groups of students to ensure their safety and facilitate their physical, emotional and educational development.
