About the Role
Here at Blue Skies Education we are working in partnership with a very special school that offers education provisions to CYP's (children and young people) with SEMH profiles. The CYP's at this provision do not attend mainstream school as they present behaviours that challenge and they need additional support and care in their school life that cannot be facilitated for in a mainstream setting.
Scroll down to find an in-depth overview of this job, and what is expected of candidates.
Role Overview
Often the CYP's at this provision will have a background of trauma, adverse childhood experiences and/or be neuro-divergent e.g.: ADHD, ASC.
We are looking for a behaviour mentor who can do exactly that; mentor, support and inspire these children and teenagers. It's a truly unique opportunity to change the lives of the students you work with and help guide them through some of the most challenging phases in their young lives.
Requirements
Ideally you will be a graduate of a psychology, criminology or creative arts based degree (art, drama, music) as these areas offer real value and experience to support different learning platforms and angles with the students. This opportunity offers significant experience for a graduate to build their portfolio for future training/further in education in the psychology and psychotherapy fields.
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.
This position will begin via Blue Skies Education as an agency worker but will present the opportunity for a permanent contract directly with the school if the temporary period is a success for you, the school and the students.
If you are compassionate, confident, inspiring, a skilled communicator with a genuine interest to make a difference for CYP's (who really need it!) that will supersede a lack of direct experience in a similar role.
Please call us for a detailed conversation and we can discuss how this role ties in with your future career goals; it will undoubtedly suit aspiring teachers, psychologists, art psychotherapists, speech and language therapists etc.
