KernowPathways Young Person Mentor
Due to the ongoing expansion and development of KernowPathways we are looking for dynamic, inspirational, positive and child-centred people who can demonstrate the required skills and characteristics of a young person mentor.
We are delighted to be part of Cornwall’s approved provider list, after a successful Quality Assurance process, and are committed to supporting young people that find being in a mainstream school challenging and need additional support to meet their needs. Our work includes community mentoring, tutoring, Forest School, Market Farm and Hub.
The young people we work with may have a diagnosis or may be on the pathway to an assessment to support them with their neurodiversity. Our aim is to support young people back into their school setting or successfully transition into a new educational setting. We focus on all areas of needs highlighting the social/emotional needs of the young person through creating a positive professional relationship with all stakeholders to enable the young people to feel valued, respected, safe and able to engage with their learning journey.

At Devon/KernowPathways we develop planned activities within our community mentoring days which incorporates targeted sessions using relational approaches. All our mentors actively encourage young people to develop their core and wider skills allowing them to see positive steps forward whilst linking all work back to their identified needs and personal targets to enable successful outcomes for them.
The sessions for our young people run daily from 9.30am – 2.30pm. All mentors have with an additional paid hour each day for planning, reporting, administration and training. Full training is given and shadowing is a must prior to starting with a young person. All mentors will be assigned a buddy to support their induction.
Applicants from educational/childcare backgrounds are welcomed but not essential. A passion and drive for changing the lives of young people is, however, a requirement. Please note that this role will entail an element of personal care and will require supporting routines with respect and dignity whilst encouraging independence.
