We are looking for Specialist Mental Health/ASC Mentors.
Mentors work with students on a one-to-one basis addressing the barriers to learning created by an impairment e.g. mental health or autism spectrum conditions. Examples of these barriers include coping with anxiety and stress, dealing with concentration difficulties, time management, and creating a suitable work-life balance. Mentors are not advocates or counsellors; their role is to promote independent learning and empower the student to manage their workload, especially during times of transition.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
* Support allocated students on a 1:1 basis with the practical impact of their mental health difficulties on their academic experience.
* Deliver focused interventions depending on student concerns and build confidence to motivate students to attend their timetabled sessions and undertake independent study required to complete their course.
* Have knowledge of the range of activities, courses, opportunities, organisations, and individuals that could provide additional support for students and encourage independence.
* Work closely with the line manager to monitor and evaluate the impact support has on student attendance, retention, achievement, and progression.
* Keep accurate records of work done with students.
* Make effective use of supervision to ensure good practice in providing safe and effective support.
Mandatory Requirements:
* You must hold a Degree (Level 6+) OR be registered with a relevant professional body.
* You must hold a DBS dated within the last 6 months OR be willing to obtain one.
* You must hold the Right to Work within the UK.
