Behaviour Mentor

The Bulwell Academy is an 11-18 academy serving families in and around the Bulwell area of Nottingham. We are part of a family of schools that make up the Creative Education Trust and are on an exciting journey to raise standards and ensure we do all that is needed to help the young people we serve to succeed. They deserve an exemplary education and we’re committed to delivering it. Here at The Bulwell Academy, we want the absolute best for every student, and we believe this is best delivered via the highest expectations of each and every one of our school community members, alongside a growth mindset approach, encouraging all students to aim high and never stop believing in themselves and what they can achieve. This is made possible through our knowledge rich curriculum offer, our CET Knowledge Connected Programme, our clear and concise Behaviour for Learning Policy and our Attitude to Learning Rewards Programme.

We are seeking to appoint a Behaviour Mentor to support the behavioural and emotional needs of students in order to remove barriers to learning. This will include supporting the RESET Manager in the running of our Internal Exclusion Provision (RESET) for students needing a different working environment for a period of time to regulate their attitude to learning or their behaviours, providing support and advice to enable students to make sound choices about their own behaviour and promoting and reinforcing self-esteem. The postholder will plan and deliver one-to-one and small group interventions as required and work with the RESET Manager and Year Manager team to ensure the needs of students are met for them to re-engage fully with learning in a mainstream context.

We are looking for candidates with experience of working with young people in an educational setting and a knowledge and understanding of how to engage challenging students, supporting them to remove personal barriers preventing their learning. This role is pivotal in teaching students to take responsibility for their decisions and actions and helping them to change their mindset and make better choices so they can access their education successfully. The ideal candidate will be committed to improving the life chances of students and hold a genuine belief that all children are capable of academic success.

As an employee of the Creative Education Trust, you will benefit from a highly competitive career package which includes:

• High quality professional development

• Regular training to develop your skills and knowledge

• A tailored induction programme to meet your needs and ongoing support from an experienced and skilled team

In addition to the opportunities for training and development, we also offer a competitive rewards and benefits package, which includes access to:
