Part-Time Behaviour Mentor

Looking for meaningful work that fits around your life, without giving up the chance to make a real difference?

We're working with schools across Filton who are looking for dedicated Behaviour Mentors to join them on a part-time, long-term basis. These roles offer the best of both worlds, flexibility that works for you and the opportunity to build lasting relationships with pupils who benefit from consistency and trust.

If you're someone who stays calm under pressure, celebrates the small wins, and knows that every child deserves someone in their corner, we'd love to hear from you.

What does the role involve?

You'll be supporting children and young people who need additional help with behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and engagement in school.

Your day might include:

• Providing one-to-one or small group support
• Helping pupils regulate emotions and build confidence
• Working closely with teachers and SEN teams
• Encouraging positive routines and celebrating progress, no matter how small
• Creating a calm, safe space where children can thrive

Who are we looking for?

Formal qualifications aren't required for this role. We're much more interested in your experience, attitude, and ability to connect with young people.

Experience we'd love to see includes:

• SEN support experience
• Previous work in schools
• Youth work, coaching, mentoring, care work, or community support roles

If you've helped children overcome challenges and feel seen, valued, and understood, you'll bring something special to the classroom.

What you'll need

To work in our partner schools, you'll need:

• An enhanced child-only DBS on the Update Service
• 24 months of references covering your recent employment or experience

Why choose a long-term, part-time role?

Because sometimes consistency matters just as much as flexibility.

These opportunities allow you to:

✅ Build genuine relationships with pupils and staff
✅ Enjoy regular working patterns that fit around family or other commitments
✅ Become part of a school community without committing to full-time hours
✅ Develop your skills and experience in behaviour and SEN support
