Blackthorn School is a friendly and busy school in Northampton. This post offers fantastic opportunities to work in a happy school with a caring ethos. Our children are enthusiastic and our staff are welcoming, hardworking and supportive.

The Learning Mentor will work with children to provide complementary services that enhance existing provision in order to support learning, participation and encourage social inclusion by developing and maintaining effective and supportive mentoring relationships with children, young people and those engaged with them.

The Learning Mentor will work as part of our safeguarding team to reduce the risk of harm to pupils. They will work with school staff and families to ensure the safety of pupils both within and outside of school. This includes working closely with children and families, completing all necessary paper work and making referrals to external agencies where necessary.

Do you like children?
Do you care enough to support and challenge our families?
If you have answered yes to both of these questions, we want to talk to you!
