We are seeking to recruit a Pastoral Mentor to provide pastoral care to our diverse cohort of students at the Shoreham Campus, ensuring they are able to achieve their full potential. You will be working with students to promote attendance, punctuality, retention and as a consequence, success rates by providing mentoring support to students who have a range of support needs, such as emotional and behavioral difficulties, that may impinge on their potential to achieve their goals.

You will provide a holistic support service for students by working as part of the Student Services team and liaising with other specialists and supervisors as well as effectively collaborating with external agencies to ensure student needs are fully met.

You will require a Level 3 qualification or equivalent in relevant youth services area and previous experience working with young people.  You will require the ability  to  manage  the  unpredictability  of  student  needs/issues  and  effectively ascertain the potential risks to all parties. You should therefore have a good working knowledge of associated youth services and other key agencies and knowledge of child protection legislation.

Interviews will be held during the week commencing 2 December 2019
