About The Role

As a Behaviour Support Mentor, you will be a key figure in supporting students with behavioural needs.

• Teach and reinforce self-regulation techniques, helping students to understand and manage their emotions and behaviours. Encourage positive interactions and model appropriate behaviour.
• Work alongside classroom teachers to implement behaviour management strategies that promote a positive and inclusive learning environment. Support teachers in addressing behavioural issues and fostering a culture of respect and cooperation.
• Maintain detailed records of students’ behaviour, progress, and any interventions used. Provide regular updates to teachers, parents, and other relevant parties to ensure a coordinated approach to each student’s development.
• Liaise with external agencies to ensure that students receive comprehensive support. Collaborate with counsellors, social workers, and other professionals to address the broader needs of students and their families.
