Behavior Support Mentor (1:1 Secondary Specialist)

Location: Huyton, Liverpool (Outstanding SEND Secondary School)

Contract: Full-Time, Long-Term

Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:45 – 15:45

Are you athletic, highly active, and exceptionally resilient? Can you remain completely calm and "go with the flow" when challenges arise, without taking difficult moments personally?

An outstanding SEND Secondary School in Huyton is looking for a dedicated 1:1 Behaviour Support Mentor to partner with a lively, highly energetic secondary school student currently paired with our team.

The Role & The Student

You will be working 1:1 with a lovely, energetic boy who has ADHD. He is incredibly bright and fiercely competitive, but he faces significant emotional and behavioral hurdles. His triggers are wide-ranging—including hunger, thirst, a split home environment, sudden routine changes, or simply losing a game.

When triggered, his behavior can escalate rapidly into physical outbursts, which can include lashing out and targeting other males meaning his environment is dynamic and fast-paced.

Who We Need

This role requires a very specific blend of personality and physical capability. We are looking for someone who brings:

*

An Athletic & Active Lifestyle: You need the physical stamina to keep up with a high-energy teenager, match his pace, and safely manage his climbing tendencies.

*

A Thick Skin & High Emotional Intelligence: Outbursts will happen. You must have the ability to handle difficult, physically challenging moments calmly and professionally, without taking them personally.

*

A Laid-Back, Adaptable Attitude: You are someone who easily goes with the flow, adapts to sudden changes in routine, and can descalate tension with a calm, grounded presence.

*

Experience (Desirable but not essential): Backgrounds in sports coaching, youth mentoring, residential care, or military/emergency services transition exceptionally well into this environment.

Why This Role?

*

True Job Satisfaction: When this pupil connects and succeeds, the reward is unmatched. You will be building a vital, life-changing relationship.

*

Outstanding Support: You will be joining an "Outstanding" rated SEND school with top-tier leadership, excellent resources, and a highly supportive staff community.

*

Consistent Hours: Stable, long-term Monday to Friday hours (08:45–15:45) giving you your evenings and weekends back.

How to Apply

If you are an active, resilient individual ready to make a genuine impact on a young person's life, we want to hear from you
