Start Date
Immediate / April 2026
Are you a Psychology graduate or a Youth Worker looking to transition into a clinical or educational career? Use your experience in mentorship and emotional intelligence to support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This is more than a job: it is a foundation for a career in Educational Psychology, Social Work, or Teaching.
Your Gateway to a Specialist Career
For many young people, traditional classrooms feel out of reach. As an SEMH Behaviour Mentor, you aren't just managing conduct; you are decoding the why behind the behaviour. We are looking for resilient individuals: from Psychology graduates to ex-Sports Coaches who want to gain high-level experience in a specialist SEN (Special Educational Needs) environment.
- Career Progression: Perfect for those seeking hours for a Doctorate in Educational Psychology or a PGCE.
- Specialist CPD (2026): Gain certified training in Trauma-Informed Practice, Team-Teach (De-escalation), and Mental Health First Aid.
- Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates (GBP90 - GBP95) paid via Randstad with no umbrella company hidden fees.
- Supportive Community: Work alongside SENCOs and Speech and Language Therapists in a resource-rich, collaborative hub.
