The right words at the right time can change a day. Could that be you?

We’re looking for brilliant Behaviour Mentors and Pastoral Support Officers to join our team in secondary schools across Newcastle and Northumberland.

Schools are putting more into pastoral care than ever before – and they need calm, steady people who can connect with teenagers, build trust and help them stay on track.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Mentoring pupils who need extra support with behaviour or attendance

  • Acting as a go-to person for students who need someone in their corner

  • Supporting teachers and pastoral teams to create a positive school environment

  • Helping young people find better ways to manage challenges

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience in youth work, sports coaching, mentoring or pastoral roles

  • Patience, resilience and a sense of humour

  • Someone who knows how to listen, guide and encourage

What you’ll get from us:

  • £100–£120 per day (£500–£600 a week), paid weekly – no umbrella faff

  • FREE Thrive training to boost your skills (and schools love it)

  • A friendly local consultant who knows the schools and will support you

  • Long-term roles where you’ll see the difference you make

If you’re ready to be that positive influence that helps young people turn things around, we’d love to chat.
