Job Description
Integra Education are looking for a creative, energetic learning mentor to deliver one-to-one, holistic support for an autistic young person (16 yrs) educated through an EHCP/EOTAS package. You will work side-by-side with a trained service dog and a small multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to shape and deliver a highly personalised timetable that blends short-burst learning, community activities and therapy programs.
Key Responsibilities:
* Plan, resource and facilitate the learning, therapy and life-skills activities set out in the EHCP, using PDA-informed strategies.
* Motivate the young person through short, interest-led sessions (arts, crafts, animal care, outdoor skills) that build self-esteem, independence and positive risk-taking.
* Liaise daily with the Lead Tutor; keep clear progress logs, minute MDT feedback and handle light admin (printing, filing, risk-assessment updates).
* Accompany the learner in the community, ensuring safety, dignity and unconditional positive regard at all times.
* Promote healthy routines around food, exercise and sleep; model calming strategies and use weighted / sensory resources when helpful.
* Maintain the highest standards of safeguarding, following KCSIE and local policies, and reporting any concerns immediately.
Essential experience & qualities:
* SEN experience (PDA and Autism)
* Proven creativity in using arts / crafts, animal care or similar “hands-on” interests to engage reluctant learners.
* Confident implementing SALT/OT recommendations and logging outcomes.
* Warm, fun, non-judgemental communicator who can set non-demanding, measurable expectations and adapt minute-by-minute.
* Sound knowledge of safeguarding and the ability to work collaboratively with families and external professionals.
Desirable:
* Training in low-arousal practice, PDA, sensory-integration or eating-disorder support.
* Experience guiding young people on a “pathway to adulthood” (independent living, employability, travel training).
Location:
* The role involves travel across the local area and working in a range of settings including the family home, community locations, and education settings.
* Some home visits may involve working in environments where pets, particularly dogs, are present. Candidates must be comfortable with this.
* Must have a valid UK driving licence, access to a car, be a driver, and hold business use car insurance, as travel between sites and homes is required.
Pay: £23-£26 (umb) per hour (please note this pay is negotiable)
Hours: 37hrs a week
