Job Description

We are recruiting for an amazing alternative provision in Plymouth who are part of a wider Multi Academy trust who work with students who have temporarily or permanently been excluded from mainstream education. They are looking for Learning Mentors who can be a positive role model figure to the students and who can support them with life skills and learning inside and outside of the classroom. These roles are full time 5 days a week 08:30-15:30 Mon – Fri.
The School
The pupils are referred from the Local Authority or direct from Devon Schools. The pupils are excluded or at risk of exclusion so all display challenging behaviours. Children are taught in a personalised thematic curriculum designed to re-engage them into education. Pupils have a high level of support with a 1:1 learning mentor. The aim is that the pupil can return to education with better personal skills and strategies to support them. There is a strong emphasis on assessment of the whole child and sharing this both formally for SEND assessment but also with family and home school use. The package each pupil receives is designed to support them and their family to stabilise and be better equipped to regulate behaviour and engage in academic learning. The aim is for pupils to move back into a long term education setting as quickly as possible so they can build a new bond with that community. Total number at any one time is 10. The aim is to have a quick turn around with pupils moving on to long term placements and our support being available to new pupils. The Role
You will be supporting students on a full time basis 08:30 – 15:30 5 days a week. You will be supporting 1:1 engaging the students in their work by going through worksheets in their main subjects of; MATHS, ENGLISH, SCIENCE & ART. As well as these subjects you will be supporting students on Outdoor Learning which is around 50% of the school curriculum. Outdoor learning will be attending places such as; aquariums, swimming pools, forests, beaches, parks etc. You need to be able to drive with access to a vehicle.
