LIFELINE: an ALTERNATIVE PROVISION for young people finding it hard to identify the right path. Join our reflective, value-led team, where you will see career development, make a real difference, and be supported every step of the way. Our intrinsic values are kindness, positivity, acceptance, integrity, aspiration and balance.
Lifeline is a NEW provision established under the umbrella business of Bettws Lifehouse, a well known and respected SEN provider. The AP, however, is a stand alone offer with an individual contract pertaining to this business.
We’re looking for mentors who bring heart, curiosity and energy to a team dedicated to helping young people take the first steps towards positive change in their lives. You will help them to navigate through the challenges of education, friendships, family and society. You will provide or signpost professional services such as mentoring and coaching, learning support, occupational therapy, communication and language therapy, holistic therapies, careers advice and guidance, diet and sleep advice, and personal training for health and fitness. This particular post is an opportunity for someone with an interest in helping those disengaged with education to gain basic academic skills and career guidance. It may suit someone with teaching experience or a special interest in SEN.
This is a great opportunity to know your work will really make a difference. You will be supporting young people going through some difficult times in their lives. Your personality and creativity will be key in shaping their future and you will see the positive impact of your contribution every day.
You will have interest and experience in a wide variety of areas that will encourage natural curiosity and widen the world of the people you work with. These can be literally from cooking to crafting, guitar to gardening, music to mini beasts, circus skills to languages… the list is endless! Bring your unique self to enhance the life experience of others.
