We are recruiting Behaviour Mentors for specialist schools in Islington who can support pupils with SEMH needs in a calm, consistent and relationship-led way.

These schools place a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, communication, and helping pupils rebuild trust with adults in education.

What the role involves:

  • Strong communication and de-escalation skills
  • Patient, resilient and non-reactive approach
  • Ability to stay calm and consistent under pressure

Why Islington:
