Second round of mentoring now open

Following feedback from previous rounds of the mentoring scheme, we have brought forward the deadline to apply to it. This will allow mentors and mentees more time to arrange meetings for the forthcoming year.

The scheme has seen strong engagement in the five years since it was launched, with over 430 colleagues taking part.

The feedback for the scheme has been exceptional, with previous participants saying that it was ‘a really valuable experience,’ which had ‘helped me immensely’, facilitating ‘more free-thinking and openness’, and which ‘pushed me to be my best self and be bold!’

For many it was ‘useful to know that I was not alone and the feelings and concerns I had were valid’, and that there was an equitability in the experience for both mentee and mentor: ‘the learning and sharing and partly mental health support has been two-way.’

Taking part

If you would like to take part go to our dedicated mentoring webpage, and fill out the simple form at the bottom of the page. The deadline this year is 17 April.
