Job Description
A supportive Primary school in Coventry is seeking a Learning Mentor to work with pupils who benefit from additional encouragement and guidance to stay engaged with learning. You’ll support children whose confidence, focus, or emotional readiness may impact their participation in lessons.
Your role will include providing in-class support, offering short 1:1 mentoring check-ins, and helping pupils approach learning tasks with greater confidence. Some children may hesitate to start work independently; others benefit from reassurance and structured encouragement when learning feels challenging. You’ll help pupils build positive learning habits without pressure or judgement.
Working closely with class teachers and the SEND team, you’ll contribute to consistent mentoring strategies that support both engagement and wellbeing. This role suits someone patient, encouraging, and motivated by helping pupils believe in their ability to succeed.
Desired Experience + Qualifications
Experience supporting Primary-aged pupils.
Warm, encouraging communication style.
Confidence supporting motivation and engagement.
Strong safeguarding awareness and consistent practice.
About the School
Located in Coventry (CV4), this Primary school holds a secure Ofsted Good rating and is recognised for its inclusive, child-centred approach. Staff work collaboratively to ensure pupils feel encouraged, supported, and confident to engage with learning at their own pace.
The school places strong emphasis on emotional readiness, positive relationships, and clear routines. Pupils who need additional encouragement receive it thoughtfully, ensuring support feels natural and empowering rather than intrusive.
Leadership is approachable and committed to professional development, offering CPD in mentoring approaches, inclusive practice, and pupil wellbeing. The environment is warm, organised, and supportive — well suited to someone who enjoys helping pupils stay motivated and confident in a Primary setting.

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…

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!
