An exciting opportunity in Headington in Oxford has arisen for a Behaviour Mentor to join a specialist school for students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Some of the students also have learning disabilities alongside their SEMH needs.

This is a full-time long-term behaviour mentor position to start ASAP. The students with these mental health and special educational needs are aged 8 to 18 so running from KS2 through to KS5.

This is a really positive and nurturing environment that utilises therapeutic interventions to help each child fulfil their potential and overcome their barriers to learning. The school has a full-time educational psychologist on site as well as numerous counsellors and the behaviour mentor will have the opportunity to shadow these professionals to learn more about these career paths.
The school acknowledge that the journey we all face together can often be fraught with highs and lows. The school nurture the uniqueness and intrinsic value of all their pupils whilst working in partnership to achieve appropriate and positive outcomes for all, securing a positive way forward for their future - 'Just because you have a diagnosis, does not mean you cannot be successful'.
