What’s in it for a mentee?

  • An opportunity to reflect on your experience and career with a senior colleague
  • Grows and improves your professional network
  • Develops your communication skills
  • Greater confidence in your approach and in yourself

What’s in it for a mentor?

  • The satisfaction of helping a junior colleague to reach their goals
  • Broadens skills and brings new insight to you and your organisation
  • Provides exposure to different perspectives
  • Develops your communication skills
  • Expands your professional network

How does it work?

Both the mentor and mentee are asked to specify the areas they would like to discuss and provide a personal statement when they build their profile. When a mentor and mentee are matched, their profiles are visible to each other. The parties then decide whether they are happy to work together and agree (or not) to be connected.

We recommend that you set out some parameters at the outset to check how you will work together. Key things to agree at this stage include; how will you communicate (email, Zoom, in-person) and how often (we recommend once a month at least).

What will be expected of me as a mentee or mentor?

We recommend our mentors and mentees commit to working together for an hour a month for up to a 6 month period. Initially both parties should agree a target objective for the mentoring relationship, and we would recommend using the resources provided within the scheme to help agree goals and structure your mentoring journey.

What support can I get?

Our online platform will help to make the initial match based on areas for development and experience. When joining the scheme mentees can specify areas of knowledge and expertise they would like to improve. The platform also contains a wealth of resources and tools with advice and guidance to help you make the most of your experience.
