For many young people, consistency is rare. Feeling understood is rare. Having someone who genuinely believes in them can change everything.

We are looking for compassionate, resilient and driven individuals to join specialist primary, secondary schools and alternative provisions across Bath as Youth Mentors, supporting students with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

This role is about far more than behaviour management.

It's about building trust, creating stability and helping young people reconnect with education, confidence and their future.

Whether you have previous experience in education, youth work, residential care, coaching, mental health support or mentoring - or simply have the right mindset and passion for supporting vulnerable young people - we would love to hear from you.

We believe relationships create change.

Our Youth Mentors play a vital role in helping young people who may have experienced trauma, exclusion, anxiety, behavioural challenges or difficulties within mainstream education.

• Genuine Impact
Every day you will have the opportunity to positively influence the life of a young person who needs support, consistency and encouragement.

• Specialist Education Experience
Gain valuable experience working within SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs) and Alternative Provision settings.

• Long-Term Career Opportunities
Many of our Youth Mentors progress into permanent education, pastoral, mentoring and leadership positions.

You will work closely with students both inside and outside of the classroom, acting as a trusted role model and providing support tailored to individual needs.

• Supporting students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups.

• Building positive and professional relationships with young people.

• Supporting pupils with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs).

• Assisting students with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

• Promoting positive behaviour and engagement with learning.

• Supporting attendance, wellbeing and classroom participation.
