SEN Learning Mentor - Early Years Setting - Merton

Merton, United Kingdom Posted on 27/04/2026

We are working with a well structured early years setting in North London looking for a SEN Learning Mentor who can handle challenges without escalation. This is not a passive support role. You will be working with pupils who need consistency, structure and calm adults who do not react under pressure. The school has strong leadership and clear behaviour systems in place - you will not be left to manage situations alone.

What the role involves

• Supporting pupils with SEN/behavioural needs
• Working alongside experienced teachers and support staff
• Providing small group or targeted 1:1 support
• Long term placement with consistency

What they are looking for

• Calm, reliable and consistent personality
• Experience in schools, PRU, SEMH or youth work
• Ability to de escalate behaviour, not inflame it
• Thick skin and professional mindset

This role suits someone who can stay calm under pressure and handle behaviour without escalation.
