Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council are welcoming volunteers to join the mentoring programme. 7
Business leaders have the chance to share their knowledge, inspire and support young people in their progress towards reaching their aspirations.
The young people are matched with the right mentor for them based on their personalities, skills and aims.
Mentors will receive half a day of training and will be given access to advice and support from a dedicated co-ordinator and a variety of resources, while having a chance to enrich their networks.
All mentees who have completed the programme have moved on to employment, education, or training.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor yourself and help young people progress towards their dream carers, please take a look at the volunteer role description below or for more information please contact volunteer@redcar-cleveland.gov.uk.
Volunteer Mentor Role Description
As a mentor, you will work with a young person to help them identify and overcome any barriers to success and provide practical advice and guidance to assist them at the beginning of their career path.
Our mentors come from all walks of life including business owners, civil servants, HR & legal professionals, and local authority staff and the one thing they all have in common is the desire to give a helping hand to our young people.
The time commitment would be approximately two hours a month talking to the young person. You will receive the full support of the Mentoring Co-ordinator and training/guidance on mentoring is provided.
The role requires an enhanced DBS check.
