Behaviour Buddy / Autism SEND Mentor – Specialist School

Location: North Manchester
Contract: Day-to-Day, Short-Term and Long-Term Opportunities
Role: Behaviour Buddy / Autism SEND Mentor
Start Date: ASAP
Pay: £107–£115 per day, depending on experience

Forever Teaching is working with specialist SEND schools across North Manchester, including Blackley, Harpurhey, Moston, Middleton, Cheetham Hill and surrounding areas, looking for Behaviour Buddies / SEND Mentors to support children and young people with Autism (ASC/ASD).

This is a great opportunity for someone who is calm, patient and confident supporting autistic pupils who may need additional help with communication, behaviour, sensory needs, emotional regulation and engagement.

The Role

As a Behaviour Buddy / Autism SEND Mentor, you will support pupils on a 1:1 basis, in small groups and within the classroom.

Your responsibilities may include:

  • Supporting pupils with Autism (ASC/ASD).
  • Building positive and consistent relationships.
  • Supporting behaviour and emotional regulation.
  • Helping pupils with communication and social interaction.
  • Supporting sensory needs and transitions.
  • Using positive behaviour and de-escalation strategies.
  • Encouraging independence and engagement with learning.
  • Supporting pupils who may be non-verbal or have limited communication.
  • Working alongside teachers, SEND staff and other professionals.

Who We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in people with experience in SEND, Autism support, SEMH, behaviour mentoring, youth work, residential care, support work or sports coaching.

Experience with PECS, Makaton, sensory needs, non-verbal communication, trauma-informed approaches or challenging behaviour would be beneficial but isn't essential.

You should be calm, resilient, patient and consistent, with the ability to build trust, manage challenging situations and maintain clear boundaries.

Previous school experience is beneficial but isn't essential where you have relevant transferable experience.

What Forever Teaching Offers

  • Competitive daily rates of £107–£115, depending on experience.
  • Flexible day-to-day, short-term and long-term opportunities.
  • Placements in specialist SEND and SEMH schools across North Manchester.
  • Opportunities to gain valuable experience supporting children with additional needs.
  • Access to free CPD and professional development.
  • Ongoing support from a dedicated Forever Teaching consultant.
  • Opportunities for consistent work within welcoming specialist settings.

Apply through Indeed today and a member of the Forever Teaching team will be in touch.
