Are you a

to support students who may face challenges with behaviour, confidence, attendance or engagement?

We are working with a supportive and ambitious secondary school in

Coventry

who are looking for a dedicated

Graduate Pastoral & Behaviour Mentor

to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate looking to gain meaningful experience in education before progressing into

teaching, pastoral care, youth work, psychology or SEND.

The Role

As a Graduate Pastoral & Behaviour Mentor, you will provide targeted support to students who need additional guidance to engage positively with school and their learning.

Your responsibilities will include:

Building strong, positive relationships with students

Delivering

1:1 and small-group mentoring sessions

Helping young people develop confidence, resilience and positive attitudes

Encouraging students to take responsibility for their choices and behaviour

Working closely with teachers and the pastoral team to identify students' needs

Supporting students who may have additional needs or challenging circumstances

Promoting a

A confident and effective communicator

Patient, resilient and emotionally intelligent

Comfortable working with students who may display challenging behaviour

Able to build positive relationships and establish appropriate boundaries

Proactive, reliable and enthusiastic

Interested in developing a career within education, pastoral support or a related field

Previous experience working with young people is desirable but not essential. The school is looking for someone with the right attitude, personality and commitment to helping students overcome barriers to success.

Why Apply?

This role provides an excellent opportunity to gain

valuable, hands-on experience within a secondary school, while developing practical skills in mentoring, behaviour management and pastoral support.

It would be an ideal stepping stone for graduates considering careers in

teaching, educational psychology, counselling, youth work, SEND or pastoral leadership.

If you're a graduate who is passionate about helping young people

build confidence, overcome challenges and achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.
