Do you have a passion for sport and a talent for supporting young people? A fantastic primary school in Birmingham is looking for a Sports & Behaviour Mentor to join their team-supporting PE lessons, leading physical activities, and working closely with pupils who display challenging behaviour.

This is a hands-on, active role ideal for someone with a background in sports coaching, behaviour mentoring, or youth work. You'll use sport as a tool to motivate, engage and support pupils both in and out of the classroom.

Your Role:

• Support the delivery of PE lessons and sports coaching across the school
• Lead structured physical activities and movement breaks
• Work 1:1 or in small groups with pupils showing social, emotional, or behavioural needs
• Use sports-based interventions to help pupils regulate emotions and build confidence
• Be a positive role model and part of the school's wider pastoral support team

What we are looking for:

• Experience in sports coaching, youth mentoring, or behaviour support
• Understanding of how physical activity can support emotional regulation
• Ability to manage behaviour calmly and consistently
• Confident leading groups and building rapport with children

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Long-term, stable work with the potential for a permanent role.
• No day-to-day supply - full-time consistency in one school.
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
• Trial days instead of formal interviews to ensure the right fit.
• Access to free CPD training, including Understanding Autism, Behaviour Management, and further professional development/refreshers.
