💡 Ideal for ex-police, military, or public service professionals

Are you passionate about helping young people make positive choices and reach their potential?

We’re looking for a Behaviour Mentor to join our vibrant, inclusive secondary school community in Manchester.
This is more than a pastoral support role—it’s about building trust, guiding behaviour, and making a real difference in the lives of students who need it most.

🔑 What you’ll do:

• Work 1:1 and in small groups with students needing behaviour or emotional support
• Support academic engagement through structured tutoring and mentoring
• Act as a positive role model, promoting respect, boundaries, and resilience
• De-escalate conflict and help students re-engage with learning
• Liaise with teaching staff and external agencies to ensure joined-up support

✅ Ideal candidate:

• Ex-police officer, military personnel, youth worker, or similar with transferable skills
• Strong presence and ability to build positive relationships with young people
• Confident supporting learning and managing behaviour in a school environment
• Calm, consistent, and solution-focused
• Committed to safeguarding, inclusion, and unlocking potential

🎯 Why this role?

• Join a committed pastoral team in a school that values character and care as much as academic outcomes
• Excellent training and ongoing development
• A chance to change lives and be part of a student’s long-term success story
• Strong team ethos and leadership support
