Peer-Mentoring

We are helping to match people who work in charities who are seeking a mentor this is often around skills & personal development objectives.

Work one to one with person from a school or charity to mutually mentor one another and learn more about each other's different sectors.

The compatibility of mentor and mentoree is a factor which we will take into consideration in the matching process. Mentors and mentorees may benefit from having similar backgrounds, interests and life experiences.

Example charities:

School Teachers - who teach subjects such as Business Studies
Staff from Homelessness charity for women
Staff of a Refugee organisation

See Peer Mentoring guidelines

Once the match is made an introductory meeting is held to check both parties are happy to proceed and set some general goals/objectives of the mentoring match.

Mentors and mentorees may maintain contact through email, telephone or in person meetings.

Requirements:
Varies according to needs but it would be at least monthly 1 hour meetings for a minimum of six months
Good listening & empathy skills

Location: Westminster
