What skills and experience we're looking for
Join our fantastic school. Here at St. Benedict’s, we are ENJOYING OUR RIGHTS AND FULFILLING OUR DREAMS.
We are seeking to appoint a Learning Mentor with initiative, integrity and excellent communication skills who can make a real difference to pupils’ lives. As a Rights Respecting Gold Award school, we would like our Learning Mentor to share our values and approaches, with a commitment to be a rights bearer for all children.
Our Learning Mentor will ideally already have experience and training in trauma-informed interventions (either Thrive, or other similar). Our school supports many pupils with complex SEMH and medical needs and so our Learning Mentor will need to be flexible to support a range of individual needs. They will also be part of our Breakfast Club team, providing a positive start to the day for individuals and groups of pupils.
We strongly recommend that prospective candidates come for a tour of the school first. We are offering tours on 17th November at 2:30pm or 4pm and 28th November at 2:30pm. Please call the school to book in for one of these times.
We anticipate a high level of interest in this position and will only consider applications which demonstrate a strong understanding of our school’s context and values.
The post is to begin 12th January 2026, or sooner.
