Exciting Opportunity for a supportive SEMH Learning Mentor!

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs? Are you ready to join a dynamic team dedicated to providing tailored support and guidance in a primary school setting? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

Role Overview:

We are currently partnering with a progressive Primary School who are dedicated to serving children with diverse and complex needs. This presents a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of Special Educational Needs (SEN) provisions and their operational methodologies.

Comprising three specialized areas, this institution has crafted a tailored curriculum and environments to optimize educational access for each student. With a primary focus on supporting students with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), the institution maintains small class sizes and a high staff-to-student ratio. This ensures personalized attention and fosters a collaborative environment among staff members.

As a SEMH Learning Mentor, you will play a crucial role in supporting and empowering students with SEMH needs to overcome challenges and reach their full potential. You will work closely with individual students and small groups, providing mentorship, guidance, and practical strategies to help them develop social skills, emotional resilience, and positive behavior management techniques.

Responsibilities:

• Provide one-on-one and small group support to students with SEMH needs, focusing on building self-esteem, confidence, and emotional well-being.
• Develop and implement personalized intervention plans to address specific SEMH challenges and support students in managing their emotions and behavior effectively.
• Collaborate with teachers, SENCOs, and other school staff to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for students with SEMH needs.
• Monitor student progress and outcomes, regularly reviewing and adapting support strategies to ensure continuous improvement and positive outcomes.
• Build positive relationships with students, parents, and external agencies, promoting partnership working and effective communication to support holistic student development.

Requirements:

• Previous experience working with children or young people with SEMH needs, preferably within a school or educational setting.
• Understanding of SEMH challenges and strategies for supporting students with emotional and behavioral difficulties.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with students, staff, and parents.
• Empathy, patience, and resilience to support students through challenging situations and foster a nurturing and supportive learning environment.
• Relevant qualifications or training in SEMH support or related areas would be advantageous.

If you are passionate about supporting students with SEMH needs and ready to make a positive impact in a primary school setting, we want to hear from you! Apply now to join the school's dedicated team as a SEMH Learning Mentor and help them to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every child can thrive!
