Job overview
Learning Mentor - EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance)
£21,722.61 (actual salary)
(based on working 37 hours per week, 39 weeks per annum)
We require an EBSA Learning Mentor to join our Attendance Team as soon as possible. Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is a ‘broad umbrella term used to describe a group of children and young people who have a severe difficulty in attending school due to emotional factors, often resulting in prolonged absences from school’ (extract taken from “Emotionally Based School Avoidance Guidance for Schools and Setting in Milton Keynes”). It is a term used to describe children and young people who experience challenges in attending school due to negative feelings, such as anxiety. EBSA is commonly associated with emotional and physical distress, and a reluctance to attend school, which can lead to reduced attendance and further anxiety regarding school.
We are seeking an EBSA Learning Mentor to work with students who struggle to come into school, perhaps due to a lack of confidence, anxiety or low literacy and numeracy skills. The EBSA Learning Mentor will support the student’s return to school with the goal of consistently attending school full time.
It is essential that the successful candidate will already have at least two years’ experience of working with young people.

The Radcliffe School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post requires an enhanced DBS disclosure. We are an equal opportunities employer.
