Why join Flourish at The Farm?
Flourish at The Farm is a well-established Alternative Provision, approved by Warwickshire County Council and trusted by over 100 schools across the Midlands. We support students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities with a key focus on Social Emotional and Mental Health and neurodivergence including Autism and ADHD. We deliver a well-rounded mix of practical, therapeutic and creative activities across our welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces.
Our child-centred and flexible approach benefits students who struggle to thrive in a traditional classroom setting, giving them the freedom to learn, grow and succeed in ways that work for them.
As a Primary and Secondary Mentor
As a Primary and Secondary Mentor, you'll work one-to-one with students aged 6–16, helping them build confidence, life skills, and independence alongside supporting growth in their academic learning.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a Post 16 Mentor you will also have the opportunity to work one to one and in small groups delivering practical, therapeutic and educational activities helping the students prepare for adulthood and their next steps.
No two days look the same — you'll be led by what your student needs, whether that's inside, outside, or somewhere in between.
What we offer:
- A genuinely supportive team of 17 experienced Mentors who share ideas and best practice
- On-the-job training from specialists, plus access to 70+ online CPD courses
- Dedicated lunch and afternoon breaks whilst students are not on site
- Real opportunities to grow your career and your day to day responsibilities
- Termly staff celebratory events
- The chance to specialise in supporting students with autism, ADHD, anxiety, SEMH and other additional needs
- Dedicated non-contact administration time for you to focus on specific jobs and daily tasks
- Work in a beautiful countryside setting.
What we are looking for?
We're looking for someone who can stay calm when things don't go to plan, adapt in the moment, and bring patience and consistency to every interaction. You don't need to have all the answers — just a child-centred approach, positive role model behaviours and a willingness to learn, adapt and grow.
You'll ideally have:
