**Exceptional Ideas Ltd** is looking for Student Mentors and Assistant Student Mentors to teach and support young people who have complex difficulties in our schools. No prior teaching experience is needed for either role as full training will be provided, and you will be working within a great, supportive team.

We follow a programme of therapeutic education for all of our students in a very informal environment to a pre-planned curriculum.

Salary scale starts at £18,753.53 rising to £22,143.71 depending on qualifications and experience. You will be paid on a 12-month basis (with school holidays paid fully), and we offer an employer contribution pension scheme with The Royal London.
