Behaviour Mentor - Theale
Ages 5 to 11 - ASAP Start
Perfect for Aspiring Psychologists, Therapists, or Even Future Crime-Fighters!
Looking to use your superpowers for good? KS1/KS2 students need you. We've got just the Behaviour Mentor role for you! A small, friendly primary school in Theale, Oxfordshire is on the hunt for a Behaviour Mentor/ Teaching Assistant to support our amazing kids aged 5 to 11. These little legends face some big challenges, from anxiety and school refusal to learning differences like dyslexia. But with the right support, they can achieve incredible things - and that's where you come in.
The Role:
- Title: Behaviour Mentor / Teaching Assistant Extraordinaire
- Start Date: ASAP - we're excited to meet you!
- Location: Theale, Oxfordshire
- Pay: £83.50 -£90 per day - enough for daily snacks and a superhero cape
- Environment: Alternative education setting with a compassionate, child-first approach
- Extras: Get up close and personal with real-life therapists and psychologists. No capes, but you can definitely shadow them!
What You'll Be Doing:
- Boosting social skills and emotional well-being - because a little encouragement goes a long way!
- Helping children understand that "great minds think differently" and there's no "one size fits all" when it comes to learning.
- Supporting kids who've had tough experiences; they might come to us feeling low or disengaged, but you'll help them find their spark.
- Using restorative practices to make the world (or at least our school) a better place.
What We're Looking For:
- Super Resilience: You might not have a superhero suit, but you're tough enough to handle anything thrown your way (even if it's just a temper tantrum).
- An Open Mind: No one-size-fits-all here - we embrace individuality!
- Relevant Experience or Degree: If you've worked with kids or studied something like psychology, counselling, or social work, we're keen to hear from you.
- A Sense of Humor: Because laughter is the best classroom management tool.
