Behaviour and Resilience Mentor (Non-Teaching)

at  The Brunts AcademyNottinghamshire

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NON-TEACHING BEHAVIOUR AND RESILIENCE MENTOR TO JOIN OUR TEAM AND DIRECTLY AND POSITIVELY IMPACT THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE.

As a rapidly improving school, identified during a recent Ofsted inspection, we are seeking to grow capacity across our pastoral/inclusion team to ensure all children are supported to reach their goals and ambitions. We are introducing Behaviour and Resilience Mentors as a new and exciting role, as we believe in the power of proactive work to support children to overcome barriers as being critical to their success.
Our Behaviour and Resilience Mentors are responsible for developing and delivering social and emotional resilience and mentoring programmes to students. Our Mentors address issues that are preventing students from achieving their full potential. Behaviour and Resilience Mentors see their mentees each week and work closely with the Heads of Year, Safeguarding Officers, tutors and external agencies to develop and tailor a programme for students based on individual needs. You will also support with the running of other behaviour intervention spaces whilst also proactively supporting students through our on-call system.

ABOUT US

The Brunts Academy is a popular and oversubscribed high-achieving secondary school with a great tradition of success. We believe that an outstanding education develops our students academically, socially and morally, giving them the knowledge and skills to be successful at school and in life. We also feel it is important for our young people to develop outside of the classroom, and we offer a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities to help prepare our students for the next stage of their education, training or employment.

As a ‘Values’-driven academy, our staff and students aspire to display the following values in all they do:

• Be Ambitious
• Be Proud
• Be Resilient
• Be Respectful

We believe that secondary education represents a major stage in the life of each young person, and so we aim to work together with parents, carers, trustees, agencies and the local community to support our young people, enabling them to develop and grow within this community and in building together a real sense of identity within The Brunts Academy.
We demand excellence of ourselves and our community so that we can best serve our students and have an ambitious future. We are proud of the success our students achieve year on year, and through our constant focus on teaching and learning, we see our students develop into lifelong learners whilst enjoying their time with us.
