Canterbury, United Kingdom Onyx Support Full time

**We are looking for Specialist Mental Health/ASC Mentors.**

Mentors work with students on a one-to-one basis addressing the barriers to learning created by an impairment e.g. mental health or autism spectrum conditions. Examples of these barriers include, coping with anxiety and stress, how to deal with concentration difficulties, time management, and creating a suitable work-life balance. Mentors are not advocates or counsellors; their role is to promote independent learning as well as empowering the student to manage their work load, especially during times of transition.

- To have knowledge and appreciation of the range of activities, courses, opportunities, organisations and individuals that could be drawn upon to provide additional support for students and encourage independence
- To work closely with the line manager to be responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of the impact support has on student attendance, retention, achievement and progression.
- Keep accurate records of work done with students
- Make effective use of supervision to ensure good practice in providing safe and effective support.
