Job Description
A Birmingham SEND school is looking for a compassionate Behaviour + Learning Mentor to support pupils with additional social, emotional, and behavioural needs. In this role, you’ll work closely with teachers and therapists to create safe, structured routines that help pupils feel secure and understood. You’ll build trusted relationships, model positive behaviours, and use tailored strategies to encourage engagement and self-regulation. No two days will be the same — one moment you’ll be supporting classroom learning, the next you’ll be helping a pupil reset and refocus after a tough morning. It’s a role that suits someone with patience, warmth, and a calm, grounded presence.
Job Responsibilities:
Provide targeted 1:1 and small-group mentoring for pupils with SEND and SEMH needs
Support emotional regulation and promote positive behaviour management
Collaborate with teachers and therapists to develop and implement support plans
Foster an inclusive, understanding environment where every pupil feels valued
Desired Experience
+ Qualifications
Experience working with SEND or SEMH pupils
Strong interpersonal and de-escalation skills
A patient, nurturing approach to supporting behaviour
Adaptability and resilience in a dynamic school environment

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…

Our HR and Safeguarding team consistently go the extra mile to complete your checks as quickly as possible - at no cost to you. To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
