Blue Skies Education are working in partnership with a very special school that offers education provisions to CYP's (children and young people) with behavioural and mental health profiles. The CYP's at this provision do not attend mainstream school as they present behaviours that challenge and whom need additional support and care in their school life that cannot be facilitated for in a masintream setting. Often the CYP's at this provision will have a background of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, some may be engaged in criminal activities and/or be neuro-divergent eg: ADHD, ASC. We are looking for a behaviour mentor who can do exactly that; mentor, support and inspire these children and teenagers. It's a truly unique opportunity to change the lives of the students you work with and help guide them through some of the most challenging phases in their young lives.

This position will begin via Blue Skies Education as an agency worker but will present the opportunity for a permanent contract directly with the school if the temporary period is a success for you, the school and the students. If you are compassionate, confident, inspiring, a skilled communicator with a genuine interest to make a difference for CYP's (who really need it!) that will supersede a lack of direct experience in a similar role. Please call us for a detailed conversation and we can discuss how this role ties in with your future career goals; it will undoubtedly suit aspiring teachers, psychologists, art psychotherapists, speech and language therapists etc. Some more info: Hours: 32hrs per week, day shifts over Mon to Fri (term time only) Start Date: ASAP End Date: Permanent contract Location: Greenwich Pay: 23500- 25000 You will need: A valid DBS or be willing to apply for one ( 63) Proof of right to work References Degree level of education (ideally but not essential) UK Residency In return we offer a huge opportunity of a permanent contract, signifiant experience to build your CV/portfolio and a highly rewarding job in education.
