Inclusion Mentor – Bridge Academy

Are you someone with excellent interpersonal skills, a great listener who is non-judgmental and calm under pressure?

Would you like the chance to be part of an exciting, forward-looking Alternative Education provider, which works in a holistic way?

Would you like to be part of a team that works hard to improve the life chances of some of the most vulnerable young people in Milton Keynes?

Stephenson (MK) Trust is an organisation committed to supporting young people who are at risk of exclusion from mainstream secondary provision (Bridge Academy) and specialist secondary provision for students with Social Emotional and Mental Health needs (Stephenson Academy). We provide inclusive education for young people with a range of educational and social needs in order to maximise and improve their life chances.

We are seeking:

• A calm and caring person who will thrive in a busy environment, where conflict resolution makes up a part of everyday
• A passionate leader of young people, who cares about holistic education and is willing to get involved with pastoral concerns impacting on every aspect of each young person’s life, as part of the daily routine
• A mentor with the ability to be creative and use imaginative flair to engage our young people, helping them to be more resilient and access education more effectively
• A person skilled in building relationships with everyone, no-matter who they are and what their barriers to learning might be
• An understanding individual who can put themselves in other’s shoes but also communicate other perspectives, to enhance our students’ understanding of the world
• A team player, who can work well with staff and students alike and can communicate at the young person’s level in a calm and professional way

Why choose our Trust?
We can offer you:

• A welcoming and positive working environment where the wellbeing of both students and staff is a top priority
• High quality professional development and support including bespoke CPD
• Small class sizes, with the ability to be truly creative, not prescriptive
• Progression opportunities across the Trust
• Free access to holistic treatments as part of our wellbeing policy

Closing date for all applications: Midday, Wednesday 8th December 2021. Interviews will take place Tuesday 14 December 2021.
