At Foundation Learning, we believe every young person deserves an education that sees them as an individual, not a problem to be fixed. Many of our learners arrive with complex barriers, including mental health challenges, low confidence or disrupted education. Our role is to rebuild belief, create a sense of belonging and support them to achieve outcomes they may never have thought possible.
This role goes beyond delivering interventions — it’s about being part of a relational, inclusive and trauma-informed team dedicated to transforming young lives.
You will support learners to develop emotional regulation, resilience and confidence through non-clinical therapeutic support, group delivery and personalised strategies. You’ll also help shape targeted wellbeing programmes using data and learner insights and contribute to a wider culture of mental wealth through engaging sessions for staff and students.
Working in a supportive and innovative team, you will help create an environment where learners feel safe, valued and able to succeed. The work can be challenging, but the impact is truly meaningful.
