Due to the ongoing expansion and development of DevonPathways we are delighted to be further recruiting for enthusiastic, outgoing, open and communication friendly people to join our dynamic company.
DevonPathways supports young people that find being in a mainstream school challenging and need additional support to meet their needs through community mentoring, Forest School, Field Farm and The Hub. The young people we work with may have a diagnosis or are on the pathway to an assessment. Our aim is to support young people back into their school or transition into a new setting. We focus on all areas of needs highlighting the Social/ Emotional needs of the young person through creating a positive professional relationship with all stakeholders to enable the young people to feel valued, respected, safe and able to engage with their learning journey.
At DevonPathways we develop planned activities within our community mentoring days which incorporates targeted sessions using relational approaches. All our mentors actively encourage young people to develop their core and wider skills allowing them to see positive steps forward whilst linking all work back to their identified needs to enable successful outcomes for them. Young people can also access bespoke sessions at The Hub, which aim to develop a wide range of skills.
In addition, DevonPathways has both a Field Farm and Forest School site stretching over 6 acres. It is here where young people access our school without walls enabling the young people to observe, talk and ask questions learning together in a natural setting.
The sessions for our young people run daily from 9.30am – 2.30pm. All mentors have with an additional paid hour each day for planning, reporting, administration and training. Full training is given and shadowing is a must prior to starting with a young person. All mentors will be assigned their own mentor to support their induction.
