Job Details
Welcome to Think for the Future
Think for the Future’s mission is to engage, educate and empower young people to have social and emotional resilience, independence and control in order to achieve their potential. We work predominantly in secondary school settings, providing young people with the social and emotional resilience they may need to help them overcome barriers they may face in their education or their lives.
The pupils we work with are often disengaged from education, close to exclusion or have low aspirations and, at Think for the Future, we offer the opportunity for them to strive and succeed in both their academic and non-academic outcomes, through improvements in resilience, aspirations and behaviour. To access and impact these pupils, we employ relatable individuals who are able to create strong and lasting rapport with these young people and confidently deliver a comprehensive curriculum covering a vast range of topics, from anger and outburst control, to motivation and willpower.
As a Behaviour & Inclusion Mentor you will be directly and positively impacting the lives of young people
Our Mentors are responsible for developing and delivering our comprehensive and structured social
and emotional resilience curriculum in group mentoring sessions, to groups of up to 15 pupils in
predominantly secondary school settings. Our mentors address issues that are preventing the pupils
from achieving their full potential. Allocated to between 1 and 5 schools, our mentors are responsible
for the delivery of the TFTF provision to their cohort of students and work closely with both the Think
for the Future team and the schools they’re placed in to develop and tailor the programme and
ensure they are creating data driven impact for the pupils they’re working with.
