Inclusion Mentor

Are you passionate

about helping children feel safe, connected and ready to learn? Do you enjoy helping children develop

confidence in communication and interaction? Are you someone who

can bring calm, curiosity and creativity to learning? At Seaton Primary School we are looking to appoint a caring,

reflective and enthusiastic Inclusion Mentor to join our nurturing and

inclusive school community. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and develop a

relational, child-centred provision for pupils who need additional support with

communication, interaction, emotional regulation and engagement with learning.

The role will particularly focus on supporting children with communication and

interaction needs, including autism, social communication differences and

social skills development. Working closely with our SENCo, teaching staff and wider

inclusion team, you will build strong and trusting relationships with pupils

and help create an inclusive school environment where children feel safe,

understood, successful and able to thrive. This is a varied, brand-new role and the successful

candidate will have the opportunity to help shape and grow with it over time.

One moment you may be leading a sensory or social communication session, the

next supporting a nurture group, adapting learning through play, or celebrating

a breakthrough moment that a child thought they’d never achieve. The role would particularly suit an experienced Teaching

Assistant looking for the next step in their career, someone passionate about

SEND and inclusion, or a practitioner who enjoys a play-based, relationship-led

approach to learning and thrives in a continuous provision style environment.

We are looking for someone who:

Has

experience working with children, particularly those with SEND or

additional needs

Understands

the importance of relationships, emotional safety and belonging

Can

build trust and positive relationships with children and families

Is

calm, patient, adaptable and emotionally resilient

Has

strong communication and teamwork skills

Is

passionate about inclusion and making a difference to children’s lives
