What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you passionate about supporting vulnerable young people to re-engage with education and reach their full potential?

The Kassia Academy is a small, nurturing provision for up to 60 learners who are unable to access mainstream education due to social, emotional and mental health needs.

As part of Kings Academy Trust, we offer a trauma-informed, therapeutic environment where relationships, pastoral care and personalised support are at the heart of everything we do.

We are seeking a committed and compassionate Learning Mentor to join our dedicated team. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference—supporting pupils through 1:1 and small group interventions, helping them to overcome barriers to learning, develop resilience and build the confidence and life skills they need for the future.

You will work closely with staff, families and external agencies to deliver targeted interventions, promote attendance and engagement, and support pupils’ academic, social and emotional development. A calm, flexible and nurturing approach is essential, along with a strong commitment to safeguarding and inclusion.

In return, you will be part of a supportive and skilled team, working in a setting where relationships matter and every success—no matter how small—is celebrated.

What the school offers its staff

• A small, nurturing school environment within the Kings Academy Trust
• A supportive and collaborative leadership team committed to staff development
• High-quality professional development and leadership opportunities
• A strong pastoral and therapeutic offer, including access to counselling and specialist support
• A values-driven culture where relationships, inclusion and staff wellbeing are prioritised
• The opportunity to play a key role in shaping provision and improving life chances for young people
• The opportunity to help shape the future of an ambitious, growing school
