Summary

Graduate Pastoral & Behaviour Mentor

Coventry | Full-Time | £20,000-£25,000

Ready to make a difference beyond the classroom?

Are you a

graduate who wants to help young people build confidence, overcome challenges and get the most from their education?

Do you have the

resilience, patience and communication skills

to support students who may need additional guidance with behaviour, attendance or engagement?

We are working with a supportive 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, particularly if you're considering a future career in

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

The Role

As a Graduate Pastoral & Behaviour Mentor, you'll work closely with students who may need additional support to engage positively with school and their learning.

You'll help students recognise barriers, develop positive strategies and build the confidence and independence they need to succeed.

Your responsibilities will include:

Providing

1:1 and small-group mentoring

Building positive, professional relationships with students

Supporting young people with

behaviour, attendance and engagement

Helping students develop confidence, resilience and independence

Encouraging students to make positive choices and take responsibility for their actions

Supporting students who may have additional needs or challenging circumstances

Identifying barriers to learning and working with staff to address them

Working closely with teachers and the wider pastoral team

Helping promote a

calm, respectful and inclusive school environment

Acting as a consistent and positive role model throughout the school day

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for a graduate who is genuinely interested in

working with young people and making a positive impact.

You'll ideally have:

minimum 2:1 degree

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

A confident and approachable manner

Patience, resilience and emotional awareness

The ability to build positive relationships while maintaining appropriate boundaries

The confidence to remain calm and consistent when dealing with challenging situations

A proactive and enthusiastic approach

A genuine interest in developing a career within education or pastoral support

Previous experience working with young people is desirable but not essential.

Experience through tutoring, mentoring, coaching, volunteering, youth work or similar roles would be advantageous, but we're also keen to hear from graduates who can demonstrate the

right attitude, personality and commitment

to supporting students.

What can you gain?

This role offers the opportunity to gain

valuable, hands-on experience within a secondary school

while developing practical skills that can support your future career.

You'll gain experience in:

Pastoral support and student mentoring

Behaviour support and positive relationship-building

Supporting students with different needs and circumstances

Encouraging engagement and positive attitudes towards education

Working alongside experienced teachers and pastoral professionals

Identifying and responding to barriers to learning

Developing your communication, confidence and professional skills

The role could be an excellent stepping stone towards

teacher training, youth work, educational psychology, counselling, SEND or wider pastoral careers.

Ready to take the next step?

If you're a graduate who wants to

support young people, gain meaningful school experience and build a career where you can make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
