Prospero Teaching are looking for energetic, reliable and motivated mentors in the BCP area to support young people needing alternate provision. We provide mentoring to students in early years all the way to post 16, supporting them from 2 to 10 hours per week. Mentoring is provided 1:1 in the young person's home or in the local community and is completely tailored to the student's needs to ensure they are getting the best possible support.

Alternately, it may just involve taking them for walks with the intention of getting them out of the house and talking to a positive role model who can help build their confidence. We also offer play therapy and art therapy to young people who require this provision. All of this is with the aim of getting them back into a mainstream or specialist environment where they feel self-assured and positive about the future. In order to be eligible, we require our mentors to have at least 6 months of experience working with young people in the past. This may be in the classroom as a teacher (with or without QTS) or supporting as a teaching assistant. Alternatively, you may have been a tutor, a counsellor, a sports coach, or a support worker. We also require all of our staff to have an enhanced Child and Adult DBS on the update service - we can help you obtain this if you do not have one. If you would like more information about Prospero's mentoring opportunities, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!
