Blacon High School – More than a school

We are looking to appoint a Learning Mentor to work with Year 7 and provide pastoral support to students across Key Stage 3 and 4. The person will support individuals around social and emotional issues and removing barriers to progress and will work closly with Progress Leader.

Learning Mentors act as positive role models and enthusiastic team players with excellent communication skills and the ability to motivate others. The key for success within this role is the ability to listen, to have compassion and to form positive relationships that will help students to meet their full academic potential.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to make a significant change to the lives of learners. A background in coaching, welfare, mentoring or parental work with young people would be helpful but key is the ability to listen, to have compassion and to form positive relationships that will help students to meet their full academic potential.

Further information relating to this role can be found in the accompanying job description and person specification and by visiting the School website at www.blaconhighschool.net. For an informal discussion with the Headteacher, or to arrange a visit, please contact Laura Hadaway
