Learning Mentor

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Your Role

Rodborough is an inclusive school with a Cullum Centre. This is a Specialist Resource designed to support autistic students capable of achieving at least 5 GCSEs within a mainstream provision. Rodborough Learning Support Assistants work across SEND/Cullum for varying hours per week.

We strive to ensure that every student is valued, can actively engage in the curriculum and take part in broader life of the school. We aim to help students acquire skills which will enable them to enjoy independence and become life-long learners.

We aim to enable young people to make the best possible progress and provide flexible support and advice for all children experiencing barriers to learning. This role is varied, and will include mainstream lesson support; working with specific student/s across the curriculum, running small groups and providing individual support.

In addition to academic support, all Learning Mentors are keyworkers and provide an invaluable 'friendly ear' for all those children who sometimes require a sympathetic listener to boost morale.

The role includes an element of admin, updating student records and liaising with all stakeholders (staff, parents and students).
