Description

The Role

A vibrant, two-form-entry primary school in N6 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
