Pay: Competitive daily rate, dependent on experience
Employer: Leading Education Recruitment Agency

A Leading Education Recruitment Agency is currently working with a number of mainstream primary and secondary schools, SEMH provisions, and alternative education settings in Hanwell to recruit committed and emotionally intelligent Behaviour Mentors. These schools support pupils who present with challenging behaviour, emotional dysregulation, trauma-related needs, anxiety, and social communication difficulties, and they are seeking professionals who can offer calm, structured, and consistent support.

The Role

As a Behaviour Mentor in Hanwell, you will play a key role in supporting pupils who struggle to manage their behaviour within a school environment. Many of the pupils you support may have SEMH needs, Autism, ADHD, attachment difficulties, or adverse childhood experiences that impact their ability to engage positively with learning.

You will work closely with pupils on a 1:1 basis, within small intervention groups, or across classrooms to help reduce behaviour incidents and improve engagement. In some settings, you may support pupils in withdrawal or reflection spaces, helping them regulate emotions and reintegrate successfully into lessons.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver structured behaviour and emotional support in line with behaviour plans

• Support pupils to recognise triggers and develop regulation strategies

• Use calm de-escalation techniques and restorative approaches

• Reinforce school routines, boundaries, and expectations

• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils

• Act as a consistent role model and point of stability

• Support pupils during transitions, breaks, and high-risk times

• Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCOs, and pastoral teams

• Maintain accurate behaviour, progress, and safeguarding records
