Basic IT skills - internet & email, Counselling, Evaluating & Reviewing, Organising & Planning

Basic IT and communication skills are needed to communicate with mentees, staff and other mentors, and to use our system to record outcomes after each mentoring session with a young person. You must be open-minded, empathetic, patient and helpful to establish a beneficial relationship.

The joy of working with young people is unique, they bring their own life experiences, needs and expectations. This makes the role of a Grandmentor highly rewarding, but never boring. This role is beneficial and gratifying to someone passionate about helping vulnerable young people transform their lives for the better. In addition, anyone looking to enter or re-enter youth work as a paid worker, but lacks the necessary expertise or needs a refresher training. We provide mentors with full training and guidance, and all expenses incurred during active mentoring will be paid.

Must be committed to meeting a young person 1-2 hours per week for at least 6 months.

We are open to making adjustments to volunteers need and we try to understand potential barriers that might prevent them from mentoring effectively.
