Your Role

The role in a nutshell

We are seeking to recruit a supportive, dedicated, and resilient Transformation Mentor to work closely with both academic and pastoral teams to support pupils’ personal and educational development. The successful candidate will play a key role in planning, coordinating, and delivering targeted interventions that address pupils’ social, emotional, and mental health needs. 


Working collaboratively with staff and external agencies where appropriate, the Transformation Mentor will help pupils overcome barriers to learning, improve engagement, and build the skills and confidence needed to succeed. Through consistent mentoring, intervention support, and relationship‑building, the role will contribute to improved pupil achievement, well‑being, and positive attitudes to learning.



The candidate

The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to deliver co-ordinated and targeted support work using achievement data, emotional development data and behaviour logs to work with the leaders to plan, deliver and measure the impact of interventions and learning activities.


We welcome applications from everyone who believes they meet the expectations of the role regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, or disability. To ensure that our staff composition is representative of the communities we serve, applications from groups who are currently under-represented in education including people with disabilities and people from minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly encouraged.

Safeguarding Information

The Raleigh Education Trust (the “Trust”) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Creating a culture of safety and vigilance for our pupils is of paramount importance, we aim to:

(a) create and maintain a safe environment

(b) manage situations should child welfare concerns arise

(c) create an atmosphere of trust in which pupils feel confident to confide any concern

(d) help young people to understand the difference between acceptable and non - acceptable behaviour

(e) teach pupils to stay safe from harm


Pupils are taught about safeguarding, including E-safety as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. All staff within the Trust take welfare concerns seriously and encourage children and young people to talk about anything that worries them.
