Highfields college have an exciting opportunity for a Pastoral and De-escalation mentor.

This role will involve primarily supporting KS3 and 4 pupils, who have been permanently excluded from mainstream, to access learning and education.

The successful candidate will work day-to-day as a mentor for a form group of pupils, becoming one of their key adults.

Within this role you will support the pupils both academically and emotionally, using strong relationships to ensure our pupils are attending lessons, engaged, interacting respectfully, approaching situations with an open mind and using their time productively.

Everyone at Highfields believes in the fundamental worth of each student. Every single student is provided with a wide variety of opportunities to develop academically – whilst being nurtured in terms of their personal development (self-awareness & social skills, citizenship & character).

This takes place in a safe and upbeat environment involving small groups and well-trained, experienced staff.

A key feature, for successful candidates, is that you can have empathy with students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and are able to work positively in a challenging and sometimes demanding environment.

If you would like to make a difference to the lives of young people, then we would like to hear from you.
