Learning Mentor

I am currently working closely with an SEN School who are looking for bank staff to support young people at their learning centre. The centre supports young people transitioning back to school following a long absence or those moving to a new school following a change in placement.

Providing a high-quality learning programme, the centre aims to provide opportunities for pupils returning to mainstream as well as pupils with additional learning needs (SEMH, ASC) supporting them on their academic journey.

As a learning mentor you will be required to support each placement for the full duration of the 6-week programme. As a new centre initial placements will be on an adhoc bases, but as referrals grow placement numbers will increase with the constant need for cover. This role would suit candidates looking for flexibility.
