SEMH Mentor | Lewisham | September Start
Are you passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to education and considering a career in Psychology, Youth Work, Social Work or Teaching? This SEMH Mentor opportunity in Lewisham offers the chance to work with secondary-age pupils who need consistent, individualised support to re-engage with learning and build confidence.
This SEMH Mentor role is suited to someone who understands that behaviour is often a form of communication. You'll work closely with pupils who may experience anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, low confidence or challenging behaviour, using positive relationships and structured mentoring to help them make sustainable progress.
Rather than simply managing behaviour, you'll become a trusted adult for pupils who may have struggled to engage with mainstream education, helping them develop the routines, resilience and self-awareness needed to succeed.
Full Academic Year | £500–£550 per week
