About the role
Thank you for your interest in Ocklynge School and for considering us as your next career move. At Ocklynge School our children are inquisitive, polite and well-behaved. They enjoy learning and relish the wider opportunities we offer, whether that be sports, Forest School or our creative arts. Ocklynge is a very happy and welcoming school with a staff team that is talented, nurturing and inspirational. We all aspire to provide the best learning experience possible. Our shared aim is to provide an outstanding education for children of all abilities. We offer a wide range of opportunities to inspire children in their learning. We want every child to achieve their own highest possible expectations and actively encourage close co-operation between home, school and the wider community.
The Behaviour Mentor will provide a complementary service to teachers and other staff, addressing the needs of children who have found mainstream school difficult due to disruptive or challenging behaviours and help them get back on the right track. This will be achieved by various approaches including:
- supporting class teachers and teaching assistants with the creation and implementation of plans and strategies for the development and education of key children;
- working with key children on a one-to-one basis or in groups to listen, encourage, motivate, facilitate learning and act as a role model;
- planning and facilitating structured games and activities, to support pupils to make appropriate use of unstructured times.
The Behaviour Mentor role will be predominantly education based but will have a wider remit including working with families and the wider community. If you have a genuine desire to make a positive difference to the lives and futures of our pupils, then we would love to hear from you. The job description and person specification in this pack describe what the post entails and the type of person we are looking for.
We offer an incentive package which includes:
- A comprehensive induction programme for new staff to our academies.
- On-going investment into your career development through appropriate CPD.

- Access to the Bike 2 Work scheme allowing up to 42% discount on the cost of bikes and equipment.
- Full use of an employee assistance programme supporting wellbeing.
- Staffroom with complimentary tea and coffee.
- Subsidised membership of Benenden Healthcare (affordable alternative to private health insurance).
- On-site parking.
