About the School

Snowdon Village is a specialist SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) provision within the Cabot Learning Federation. The school supports young people who have experienced barriers to learning in mainstream settings, often due to behavioural, emotional, or social challenges.

Snowdon Village provides a structured, nurturing, and therapeutic environment, focused on helping students re-engage with education, develop emotional resilience, and build positive, lasting relationships. The approach combines academic learning with strong pastoral support, enabling students to grow in confidence, improve their behaviour, and prepare for success both in school and beyond.


About the Role

We are looking for a dedicated and resilient Wellbeing Mentor to join the team at Snowdon Village.

This role is centred around supporting students with SEMH needs, helping them to regulate emotions, improve behaviour, and re-engage with learning. You will work closely with students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups, both within the classroom and through targeted pastoral interventions.

As a Wellbeing Mentor, you will play a key role in building trusted relationships, acting as a positive role model, and supporting students with their personal development and wellbeing. The role requires a consistent, calm, and empathetic approach to support students who may display challenging behaviours.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting students with emotional regulation and behaviour management
  • Delivering 1:1 and small group mentoring sessions
  • Supporting learning within the classroom environment
  • Promoting engagement, attendance, and personal development
  • Building strong, positive relationships with students
  • Working collaboratively with teaching and pastoral staff
  • Providing consistent, structured support to meet individual needs

Requirements:

  • Experience working with young people, ideally within SEMH, alternative provision, or youth work
  • Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
  • Ability to build rapport with disengaged or vulnerable students
  • Resilience, patience, and a calm, empathetic approach
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A genuine passion for supporting young people to succeed
  • A full UK driving licence (essential)
