Axcis Education is working in partnership with an Alternative Education Provision in Bristol to recruit an enthusiastic and resilient Learning & Behaviour Mentor to join their team on a long-term basis, starting mid-January 2026.
This provision supports a diverse group of learners aged 7–16 who have been removed from mainstream education. Pupils present with Autism, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and other associated conditions, requiring consistent, structured, and compassionate support.
The Role
As a Learning & Behaviour Mentor, you will:
• Work with pupils on a 1:1 and small group basis, addressing barriers to learning.
• Plan and deliver targeted interventions to develop emotional regulation, confidence, and self-esteem.
• Adapt your approach to meet pupils’ learning, behavioural, and emotional needs.
• Support pupils during periods of crisis, using effective de-escalation strategies.
• Build strong, positive relationships with pupils, parents/carers, and the wider staff team.
• Accurately record pupil sessions to track progress, attendance, engagement, and behaviour.
• Contribute to review meetings, ensuring support packages remain appropriate and effective.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who:
• Has experience supporting children or young people with Autism and SEMH.
• Is confident using de-escalation techniques to support pupils in crisis (Team Teach is highly desirable).
• Can quickly build trusting and positive relationships with pupils.
• Demonstrates strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Is patient, empathetic, resilient, and passionate about supporting vulnerable learners.
Why Join This Provision?
• Work in a specialist alternative setting with small class sizes.
• Be part of a supportive and experienced multidisciplinary team.
• Make a genuine difference to the lives of young people who need it most.
• Competitive daily pay rate of £89–£95 per day, depending on experience.
