is working with a Special Needs School in Tameside. The school deals with students with complex needs, behavioural challenges, and mental health issues.
The school caters for pupils who have an educational plan to receive their education in a specialist provision, due to their learning needs. The school takes pupils who have been identified as not suitable for mainstream education.
The pupils are aged 11-16 years old, in KS3/4 secondary, all with EHCP plans and additional needs. They have usually experienced some form of trauma, neglect, or chaotic home life.
Your role is to build a connection with the young people and act as a mentor and role model. Due to the barriers the pupils face in the classroom, the role will entail forging strong relationships with them.
The role will see you using various mentoring skills (similar to those used in sports, drama, and counselling) to help individuals engage with the school. You will support the pupils both in the classroom and on a more vocational basis.
The position is open to all experienced candidates, particularly those with a background in working in an SEN School and mentoring children and young adults. Depending on performance, the school may extend the contract or offer a permanent position.
