Job Description
Full-Time 1:1 Learning Mentor (Fairlop, Redbridge) - Start September 2025
Are you calm under pressure, emotionally attuned, and ready to make a real difference in a young person's life? We are seeking a full-time 1:1 mentor to support a bright, sensitive female student with multiple learning and developmental needs at a welcoming school in Fairlop (London Borough of Redbridge).
This is a term-time only position beginning in September 2025, ideal for someone who is patient, organised, and confident communicating with families and professionals alike.
About the Student
The student requires structured, thoughtful support throughout the school day. She works with an external tutor for up to three hours daily and benefits from a consistent 1:1 adult who can guide her through routines, transitions, and learning in and out of class.
Her diagnoses include:
Autism Spectrum Condition
ADHD
Language delays (both understanding and expressing)
Developmental delay
Sensory processing challenges
Anxiety
Developmental Coordination Disorder
She can sometimes misinterpret social cues or express things in a way that doesn't reflect her intent - so it's essential that the person in this role is empathetic, reflective, and not easily thrown off by misunderstandings.
What You'll Do
Provide dedicated 1:1 support throughout the day
Help the student navigate emotional, sensory, and social challenges
Collaborate with an in-school tutor and help bridge her learning between sessions
Be the key contact for day-to-day communication with her family
Write professional, well-structured emails and updates for staff and external professionals
Liaise with a wider support network including therapists, specialists, and SEN services
Foster independence while maintaining clear boundaries and consistency

Someone with a degree (essential)
Fully available Monday to Friday from September 2025 during school hours
Ideally, has prior experience working with neurodivergent or developmentally delayed students
Excellent at communicating both in writing and in person
Emotionally grounded, reliable, and flexible in your approach
Comfortable being proactive and working as part of a multi-disciplinary team
This is not a role for someone looking to follow a script - it's for someone who can stay grounded, think on their feet, and build trust with a unique and wonderful student who learns best through patient, individualised supportBefore You Apply
