Graduate SEN Mentor

Are you a graduate looking for a meaningful post-graduate role? Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of vulnerable children with Special Educational Needs?

A friendly and welcoming specialist school in Oxford are seeking a compassionate graduate to join their team as a Graduate SEN Mentor. This is a unique opportunity for a graduate to take on a mentoring role that blends academic support with emotional and behavioural support for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This includes students with Autism, ADHD, speech and communication needs, learning difficulties and physical disabilities.

As a Graduate SEN Mentor, you will act as a positive role model for primary and secondary age pupils. Your role will involve mentoring pupils on a one-to-one and small group basis, helping them build emotional resilience, develop self-awareness and build their social skills. You will also support them in managing behaviour, building communication skills, and access learning in a way that works for them.

The school focuses on life skills and social development, so you will help take part in creative lessons such as cooking, drama, dance, outdoor learning, community projects, work experience and sensory activities. This approach helps students to grow in confidence and independence.

This Graduate SEN Mentor role is an ideal opportunity for a graduate considering a career in Educational Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Counselling or Social Work. You will gain direct experience supporting neurodiverse children, while working alongside multi-therapy teams and SEN professionals.

The school are seeking a Graduate with a strong academic background (ideally a 2:2 degree or above), and a passion for helping vulnerable children. Previous experience working with children and/or vulnerable adults would be beneficial.
