A vibrant primary school in the heart of Handsworth B20 is seeking a confident and compassionate Behaviour Mentor to support pupils who need help managing their emotions, behaviour, and engagement in learning.

This is a long-term, full-time role working closely with children who may display challenging behaviour due to underlying social, emotional or mental health needs (SEMH). You'll play a key role in helping them build confidence, stay focused, and thrive in school.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience working with children with behavioural or SEMH needs (school or youth work setting ideal)
• A patient, calm and consistent approach
• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
• Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
• Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.
