Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

As a Learning mentor, I provide help and support to pupils who are experiencing difficulties & barriers in their learning due to social, emotional or behavioural problems or other external issues. I am helping pupils to overcome problems that are affecting their learning with intervention sessions ranging from 4, 6 & 8 weeks- varying how often & how long based on the individual child.
I also deal with attendance, liaising with parent, external professionals & after school club.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy working with the pupils I do as each pupil & situation is different.
I believe the challenge is there for both myself & the pupil & supporting them & gaining a positive outcome is the best feeing ever & ever so rewarding.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learnt how to take minutes on professional meetings with external agencies working along side vulnerable pupils and their families.
I have learnt how to use a database called SIMs which schools use to store pupils/staff information securely.
I am developing on my sympathy & empathy skills & using them correctly.
I have also been taught about safeguarding & child protection.

5/5

It gives me the structure & answers I need whilst physically doing my job.
