St Luke's Primary School is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Learning Mentor to join the inclusion team. Working alongside a team that includes a SENCO, two Assistant SENCOs, another learning mentor and an Attachment Mentor, the successful applicant will have a good understanding of what can prevent a child from achieving their full potential and be able to work creatively with staff to make a difference to young people’s lives and overcome these barriers.

If you are committed to improving outcomes for young people, have effective communication skills and are able to work independently, in a flexible way, then we would love to hear from you.
