Description

Job Title: Behaviour Mentor (Specialist SEMH Provision)

Location: Gloucestershire (semi-rural setting – driving recommended)

Salary: Competitive daily rates (depending on experience)

Contract Type: Full-time / Term-time

Agency: Axcis Education

About the Role

Axcis Education is proud to be working with a specialist SEMH provision in Gloucestershire to recruit a Behaviour Mentor. This role offers a unique opportunity to support young people aged 11–16 who may have found mainstream education challenging, and who need consistent, compassionate adults to help them thrive.

The school’s vision is to empower pupils to become safe, independent, confident, resilient, and socially aware citizens. As a Behaviour Mentor, you will play a key role in achieving this, providing individualised support that helps pupils to regulate emotions, re-engage with learning, and develop positive behaviours both in school and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

Provide 1:1 and small group mentoring for pupils with SEMH needs

Support the implementation of behaviour support plans and therapeutic interventions

Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils to create a safe and nurturing environment

Assist in managing behaviour in lessons, during transitions, and unstructured times such as breaks and lunch

Record and monitor behaviour and progress, sharing insights with colleagues, parents and external agencies where appropriate

Act as a positive role model at all times, demonstrating patience, empathy, and consistency

What We’re Looking For

A resilient, caring and patient individual with a genuine desire to support young people

Experience in education, youth work or a pastoral role is an advantage, but not essential

An understanding of SEMH and related needs (trauma, attachment, communication difficulties) is desirable

Flexibility and adaptability – every day is different, and no two pupils are the same

Good communication skills with both young people and adults

The ability to travel to a semi-rural location (driving is recommended)

What’s on Offer

A chance to make a real difference in the lives of young people who need it most

Support from a welcoming, inclusive team with a strong pastoral focus

Opportunities for professional development and training through Axcis Education

A varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same

If you’re ready to take on a meaningful role where your work directly impacts young people’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.
