A highly regarded Specialist School in Wokingham is seeking a committed SEMH Behaviour Mentor to work with students who have Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals who want to make a real difference in the lives of young people who need extra support, both academically and emotionally.
