Creative Learning Mentor (Avonmouth)

We're looking for compassionate, creative and resilient Creative Learning Mentors to support pupils in a primary school in Avonmouth who need a little extra help to succeed. You'll work either 1:1 or with small groups, helping children build confidence, regulate emotions and re-engage with learning in a positive, supportive way.

No two days are the same. One morning you could be building trust through Lego, art or outdoor learning. The next, you'll be celebrating a child staying in class for the whole lesson for the very first time. Those small wins soon become big ones.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting pupils with social, emotional and behavioural needs.
• Delivering engaging 1:1 and small group interventions.
• Building positive relationships based on trust, patience and consistency.
• Using creative activities to encourage communication, confidence and emotional regulation.
• Working closely with teachers, SENDCOs and pastoral teams to help every child reach their potential.
• Creating a calm, safe and encouraging learning environment.

We'd love to hear from you if you have experience in:

• Behaviour support.
• Youth work.
• Sports coaching.
• Drama, music or the creative arts.
• Residential care.
• Mental health support.
• SEND settings.
• Teaching Assistant or Learning Mentor roles.
• Working with children or young people who need additional support.

You don't need to have worked in a school before. If you're calm under pressure, genuinely care about helping children and can build positive relationships, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll need

• A positive, patient and resilient approach.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to stay calm in challenging situations.
• A genuine passion for helping children succeed.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.
• The right to work in the UK.

Why work with Protocol Education?

• FREE access to our online CPD Academy.
• Personal support from your own dedicated consultant.
• Opportunities across mainstream, SEND and alternative provision schools.
• Local work that fits around you.
• Refer a friend and earn rewards.

If you're ready to make a real difference, one conversation, one breakthrough and one child at a time, we'd love to hear from you.
