There’s a young person in Bristol right now who needs someone to believe in them. Someone who won’t give up on them, even when things get tough. That someone could be you.
At Lexia Education Services, we specialise in placing dedicated, compassionate mentors into schools across Bristol to support children and young people with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). And right now – we need more people like you.
Why Bristol Needs More Youth Mentors
Schools in Bristol are seeing a growing number of young people struggling with SEMH and SEND. Without the right support, these pupils risk falling through the cracks – missing out on education, connection, and a chance to create a bright future for themselves.
But when a trusted mentor shows up consistently, listens deeply, and offers patience and guidance, the impact can be life-changing.
This is exactly why we do what we do at Lexia.
Who Can Become a Mentor?
You don’t need teaching experience, a degree, or even previous youth work.
What matters most is:
- A genuine desire to help young people
- Patience, resilience, and emotional maturity
- Willingness to commit and show up consistently
- Confidence to work one-to-one or in small groups
This is not an easy role – but it’s an incredibly meaningful one. A great mentor doesn’t just show up – they show up with heart.
