Job overview
Falinge Park is a large multi-cultural school in the centre of Rochdale. Facilities are excellent and we are fully staffed with specialists in each area. The school is oversubscribed and behaviour is very good both in the classroom and around the school at unstructured times. We are a community school which serves the community and are proud to create a positive environment for our pupils and the future of Rochdale. Inclusivity, equality of opportunity and creativity permeates throughout our school in an open, honest and transparent culture. It is an exciting place, whether you are at the start of your career or an experienced teacher.
We are seeking a Learning Mentor to join our well established and successful team here at FPHS. You might have an education, youth work or health background looking to bring the lens of your experience e.g. mental health, CAMHS etc, to help us bridge the gap between education and therapeutic support. The Learning Mentors are part of the wider additional needs team and work closely with pastoral staff in order to ensure that equity and inclusion are at the heart of what we do here at school and that all pupils are given the right support in order to succeed: We recognise that barriers to learning are often rooted in mental health and emotional wellbeing; therefore providing the right intervention at the right time is crucial for pupils to achieve personally and academically. In our "Falinge Family," we value the holistic profile of the child—addressing their psychological safety as a prerequisite for academic success. We understand that some pupils might need more support than others and we will always endeavour to provide that support. This is why the role of mentor is so important and why we have a team of mentors as well as a lead mentor working with some of our pupils.

The Governors of Falinge Park High School have determined that the school should join the Watergrove Trust, a Rochdale-based multi-academy trust which aligns very positively with the Falinge Park values and mission. We hope to join the Watergrove community of two secondary and five primary schools in the Autumn term of 2024.
Watergrove is a part centralised trust which shares core processes but also honours the individual character of all its schools, so whilst benefiting from the collaborative opportunities of being in a trust, you will also be firmly part of the Falinge Park family
