The Role

A vibrant, two-form-entry primary school in NW10 is looking for a confident Behaviour Mentor who can hit the ground running and keep learning on track. You’ll work 1:1 and in small groups, modelling positive behaviour, de-escalating incidents calmly, and coaching pupils to make better choices—so teachers can teach and children can learn.

Day-to-Day

• Use proven behaviour-management strategies to support pupils across KS1 & KS2.
• Run short, purposeful interventions focused on self-regulation and social skills.
• Track triggers, log incidents, and feed clear information back to class teachers, SENCo and parents.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with teaching staff to maintain a safe, orderly learning environment.
• Act as a positive role-model—firm, fair, consistent.

We’re Looking For

• Recent experience supporting challenging behaviour in a primary, PRU or youth-work setting.
• Calm authority, quick thinking, and a genuine belief every child can succeed.
• Strong communication: you’ll need to win trust fast—with pupils, staff and families.
• Up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding and the confidence to follow school policy without hesitation.
• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one) and the right to work in the UK.

Why This School?

• Clear behaviour policy backed by a proactive SLT—no mixed messages.
• Regular CPD on restorative practice and Team-Teach (they’ll put you through the course if you need it).
• Supportive staffroom; senior leaders visible and hands-on.
• Easy access—short walk from Overground & Bakerloo Line, on multiple bus routes.

Additional requirements:

• References confirming suitability for role
• Commitment to Safeguarding
• Enhanced DBS certificate registered on the update service
• Eligibility to work in the UK

Benefits

• Support from dedicated and knowledgeable specialist consultants
• Continual professional development through online training
• Competitive pay rates related to your experience
• Opportunities within a range of schools and provisions
• Refer a friend bonus with £150 in vouchers
