Learning Mentor

Sorry, this job listing has now expired.

Starting September 2024

BSB is a not for profit, inclusive independent international school comprising 1,350 students from approximately 70 countries. Located in the parkland of Tervuren, we enjoy world class facilities set within an inspiring green campus, yet near all the amenities of the university city of Leuven and the capital city of Brussels. But what makes our school an exceptional place to learn and grow, and what really sets us apart, are the relationships we build, the culture of kinship we foster and the pursuit of quality in everything that we do.

We are committed to providing a vibrant and engaging holistic education for our students in a harmonious atmosphere. With everyone learning and working together to inspire success, we have created a thriving community with the notion of ‘one school’ at its heart. By balancing academic endeavour with pastoral care, and classroom-based learning with enrichment opportunities, we provide our students with the best opportunities possible to broaden their aspirations and horizons.

Our curriculum is British based and uniquely adapted to the needs of our international and diverse student body. There is an Early Childhood Centre for children aged 1-3. Our Primary School offers a bespoke enquiry-based curriculum. Students in Year 10 & 11 study for (I)GCSE and BTEC courses. Post-16 students can choose from three internationally recognised pre-university examination courses: English A Levels, International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or BTEC. Our Enrichment programme is exceptional, offering over 100 activities per week.

As one of the top performing schools in the world, BSB students go on to attend a wide range of top universities across the globe. We believe that our exceptional student outcomes and top world rankings are really a happy by-product of our unique culture built on care, curiosity, and collaboration.

Your Role:

Our students are fantastic but being a teenager can be tough! They are under pressure from teachers at school and parents at home to study hard and do well in exams but are also coping with the biggest period of physical and emotional change in their life. All this while trying to find their place in their peer group in a mobile community with many new students.

We are looking for an outstanding communicator with young adults who can listen, help them plan their time, see a way through the demands of school life and raise their aspirations.

Your role is to support individuals, or small groups of Secondary aged students, typically in the 14-18 age range. Some in-class support may be required but most support will be organised outside the classroom with a focus on self-esteem, motivation, revision and study skills. It is expected that you would support students with their learning; in particular, with their preparation for examinations, assessments and potentially applications to university. Working closely with the exam team to support student access arrangements for public and internal examinations is key expectation of the role. The successful candidate will work closely with the Faculty Leader of Student Support, Secondary teachers and Heads of Year to support students in their learning across the curriculum in a range of subjects. He/she will demonstrate professional and personal qualities, which will enable him, or her, to make a significant contribution to the continued development of the AEN Department and to the school in a wider context.

Your Profile:

have experience of working with students in an educational setting;

be organised, adaptable, self-motivated, creative and have a sense of humour;
be an excellent team player and communicator, building trust with students and teachers alike;
be a good role model and be ambitious for students’ learning; and
be independent, flexible, patient, proactive and personable
As BSB is a busy extracurricular school, it would be an advantage if the successful candidate could offer a particular activity as part of this programme, as well as a willingness to go on school trips (day trips and residential)

The Person:

Commitment to the BSB Guiding Statements
Committed to achieving the best at all times for BSB students
Belief that in learning and in life more is achieved together than alone
Committed to the safety and wellbeing of BSB students.

In return, we offer:

A full-time or part-time, 1 year contract with full obligation to attend all staff meetings and Professional Learning workshops
On the job training
An interesting position in an international environment
An attractive salary – BSB Learning & Teaching scale – Band 2 representing a minimum of € 36.060 and maximum € 56.364 gross per year, (full-time, pro-rated for part-time roles), depending on the years of relevant experience
Interesting extra-legal benefits including hospitalisation insurance, extra pension payments, luncheon vouchers, free use of the BSB sport facilities
