They will have access to lessons across the curriculum and also the chance for students to learn the craft of Hair & Beauty and Construction. There is parking on site for staff.

REQUIREMENTS OF A MENTOR

• Experience working to support pupils with physically and emotionally challenging behaviour
• A resilient personality and an ability to build rapport quickly with staff and students.
• De-escalation training would be a bonus for this role, however, the school do also provide their own specialised de-escalation training
