Are you a recent graduate willing to use your knowledge to help make a difference, whilst supporting your future employability?

This is a unique opportunity for 2020 graduates across all subject areas to inform, and participate in a paid mentoring programme to support South Yorkshire school pupils. You’ll be helping them engage with school and learning as they transition back into education following COVID disruption.

Details:

As a mentor you will assist target groups of pupils at different levels of study helping them engage with school and learning in a challenging educational environment. Your training and mentoring will be completed virtually. You could be assigned pupils in any of our participating schools across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster. You’re not teaching, instead your focus will be to help those who require just a little more support with their educational transition as they look forward to their GCSEs, post-16 choices or A levels.

We’re wanting to hear from passionate and approachable graduates who feel they could make a difference, (utilising their prior experiences), whilst gaining valuable practical experience.

Driven by a partnership between Sheffield Hallam University and South Yorkshire Futures, Graduate Mentor's will actively engage Sheffield Hallam University's social mobility vision to increase the educational health and raise aspirations for young people in South Yorkshire.

Mentors will be paid to attend training, (25 hours) and to deliver mentoring sessions (approx 144 hours – which will vary each week) over a six-week programme.
