We require a Wellbeing Mentor for September 2024 to work as part of our pastoral and mental health support team in school. The role’s main responsibility will be to support identified students with their wellbeing through the planning, coordination, implementation and monitoring of targeted interventions delivered within a group or a 1:1 basis. This will include students with low-level mental health concerns and those students requiring further support for areas such as identity and self-confidence.
This post will also involve playing a full part in the wider life of the school. It is imperative that you are good humoured, resilient and enjoy working with young people aged 13-18.
Please find the job description, application form, application details and school information on the website ‘Vacancies’ section at: www.whitleybayhighschool.org

Whitley Bay High School
Whitley Bay High School is a mixed 13-18 comprehensive school. The school has grown considerably in size over the last decade, and is oversubscribed each year. Currently the roll is 1770, with 650 in the Sixth Form. There are 184 members of staff, 115 Teaching and 69 Support staff.
We moved into our new school in September 2023 which has been built on the same site as the old school. This has provided Whitley Bay High School with state-of-the-art facilities for our students, staff and the wider community.
The School benefits from a very committed and forward-looking Governing Body, and Governors take a keen interest (and usually are involved) in staff appointments. Much of the work of the Governing Body is done in its three Committees, and staff and students are often invited to meetings to make their views known.
In conclusion, Whitley Bay High School has an outstanding reputation both in the North East and nationally. The school prides itself on positive relationships and its relaxed but purposeful atmosphere. It is in the middle of exciting and extensive continuing development, and new appointments will have an important part to play in this.
