£110-£130 per day (depending on experience)
A specialist provision in Manchester is looking for a SEMH Support Mentor to work with secondary-aged pupils who need additional support to manage their behaviour, emotions, and engagement with education.
This is a role for someone who understands that progress isn't always linear - and that patience, consistency, and trust can completely change a young person's direction.
You'll be working closely with pupils who may:
• Struggle to access mainstream education
• Display challenging or disruptive behaviours
• Need support with emotional regulation and decision-making
• Be at risk of exclusion or transitioning back into education
Your role will involve:
• Supporting pupils 1:1 and in small groups throughout the school day
• Helping to de-escalate situations calmly and safely
• Acting as a consistent, reliable adult pupils can trust
• Adapting tasks and approaches to suit individual needs and learning styles
• Encouraging pupils to reflect, reset, and make positive choices
• Working alongside teachers and support staff to maintain structure and routine
You won't just support learning - you'll help rebuild confidence and re-establish a connection with education.
This role is ideal if you:
• Have experience with SEMH needs or challenging behaviour
• Have worked in schools, youth work, care, coaching, or alternative provision
• Stay calm in difficult situations and can think on your feet
• Are confident setting boundaries while remaining empathetic and supportive
• Build rapport easily and can earn trust over time
• Are committed to making a long-term impact on young people's lives
• A full-time role with the opportunity to go permanent
• A supportive team that understands the realities of SEMH support
• Access to training and CPD focused on behaviour and wellbeing
• The chance to work in a setting where your role truly matters
• A rewarding position where you can see real progress over time
This provision is committed to safeguarding and protecting children and young people. All applicants will be required to:
• Complete an Enhanced DBS check
• Provide satisfactory references
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of safeguarding responsibilities
