Are you looking for a challenge?  Our intention is to transform the lives of children from disadvantaged backgrounds!

Newlands Academy is a challenging but extremely rewarding, newly purpose-built special academy for students aged 11-16 who have social, emotional and mental health needs and is part of Academies Enterprise Trust’s network of 58 primary, special and secondary academies. The Academy is based in Southwark, London and currently has ~70 students on roll.

We are looking for a Learning and Behaviour Mentor to provide support in addressing the needs of pupils who need particular help to overcome barriers to learning. You will also be expected to use specialist skills/training/experience to support pupils in ensuring maximum learning takes place at all times.

Our staff have benefited from our collaborative work with our other AET cluster of schools and we will challenge and support you with your career goals while you are part of the ‘Newlands Academy family’.  

You will: 

• Have experience of working with young people ideally with SEN. 
• Be robust, resilient and take pride in helping students who can sometimes find school life challenging. 
• Be flexible, positive and have a ‘can do’ attitude.

We can offer you:  

• A positive, community driven school where high staff morale and low staff turnover have contributed to the rapid improvements in attainment and progress. 
• Happy, enthusiastic and well behaved children 
• A leadership team who welcome fresh ideas, and see the retention of staff as a high priority.  
• Well supported teachers who are committed to driving high standards

Our school ethos can be summed up by our five key principles. 

• We are a caring and accepting community where everyone’s voice is valued 
• We see potential in all our students and offer them a fresh start 
• The students’ learning and emotional needs are at the centre of every decision we make 
• We give students time and space to gain an understanding of their own identity; we strive to nurture, educate and empower them through to adulthood 
• We work in the academy with humour, justice, compassion and forgiveness. We understand that all members of the community can make mistakes and that we learn from each other
