Here at Blue Skies Education we are working in partnership with a very special school that offers education provisions to CYP's (children and young people) with SEMH profiles.

We are looking for a behaviour mentor who can do exactly that; mentor, support and inspire these children and teenagers.

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.

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: Indefinite, could become permanent Location: Redbridge Pay: £14-£15 per hour (PAYE) You will need: A valid DBS or be willing to apply for one (£62) Proof of right to work References Degree level of education 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.
