Contract

Are you someone who can truly see young people who feel misunderstood?
Do you naturally bring patience, structure and calm to challenging situations?
Do you want a role where your support can completely transform a pupil’s confidence, behaviour and future?

If this sounds like you, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

You’ll be joining a specialist alternative provision school in Bristol that gives young people a fresh start outside mainstream education. This nurturing, therapeutic environment helps pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs rebuild trust, self‑belief and meaningful engagement with learning.

Every day is different. Every conversation matters.
And your impact will be immediate, powerful and long‑lasting.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Mentoring young people with behavioural, emotional and social needs
    * Being a calm and steady presence when pupils face challenging moments
    * Offering outreach support for students struggling to attend or engage
    * Helping young people regulate, reset and return to learning
    * Working closely with pastoral and safeguarding teams to embed personalised behaviour plans
    * Encouraging pupils to grow emotionally, build resilience and develop positive routines
    * Providing consistent support that helps pupils feel seen, heard and believed in

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience supporting young people with behaviour needs, SEMH or complex backgrounds
    * Someone who builds trust quickly and stays calm under pressure
    * A role model who can set boundaries with warmth, clarity and consistency
    * Someone adaptable who thrives in a role where no two days look the same
    * A genuine passion for helping vulnerable pupils move forward
    * A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle, as outreach is part of the role

What’s In It for You

  • Full time hours, Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 16:00
    * A day rate between £90 and £130, depending on experience
    * A supportive, friendly and collaborative school team
    * Training, development and opportunities to grow your skills
    * A chance to make a meaningful, lifelong impact on a young person’s journey

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you want a role where your presence truly matters, and you’re ready to support pupils who need consistency, encouragement and understanding, we’d love to hear from you.
