What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a Sixth Form Learning Mentor. This is an exciting opportunity to join our support team, working closely with the Sixth Form team and our students. We are looking for a member of staff with excellent communication skills and the expertise to build effective relationships with students, in order to reduce barriers to learning and support them in reaching their potential. Experience in a school setting would be an advantage but above all we are looking for the right person to work with our young people.
The role is a learning support role, working mostly with 6th form students on a 1-1 or small group basis. You will work with students to create a personalised mentoring programme to support their academic progress. In this role you will provide advice and guidance on methods of effective study and revision, helping students to improve their success in the Sixth Form. This could include helping students to find materials, to manage their workload effectively and suggesting different approaches to tasks. You will be expected to communicate with parents and teaching staff to personalise the approach for individual students and their needs. Good record keeping will be essential to monitor the progress of the students and the effectiveness of the interventions. This role is overseen by the Sixth Form team and based upstairs in the Library Resource Centre (LRC) which enables close working relationships with the LRC manager and our careers advisor.
The daily working hours will be agreed to meet the needs of the student cohort. The formal school day starts 8:50am and finishes at 3:15pm. There may be an opportunity for additional working hours (up to 30 hrs per week) for a suitable candidate linked to the Learning Support department, providing in-class support for students. Please let us know if you are interested in developing a dual role although this is not essential.
