Job Description
We are currently seeking an experienced mentor to support a Year 13 student who requires sensitive, adult‑to‑adult mentoring focused on post‑16 pathways, emotional wellbeing, and confidence building.
This young person is experiencing moderate depression, anxiety, autistic burnout, and emotional dysregulation, which has impacted his ability to attend school consistently and manage day‑to‑day functioning (including sleep, eating, self‑care, and emotional regulation). He is motivated to move forward and is particularly interested in further study via online routes, such as the Open University, but would benefit from guidance around different pathways and next steps.

A calm, non‑pressured, relationship‑led approach is essentialPractical Details:
Hours: 1 hour per day
Days: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday
Timing: Afternoons
Setting: Initially home‑based, with potential to move into public/community settings (e.g. café, gym, climbing wall) as confidence buildsWe are looking for someone warm, emotionally attuned, and confident working with older young people who have complex mental health and neurodiversity needs, and who can offer steady, adult‑appropriate guidance during a key transition period.
