As part of our Mentoring and Supported Volunteering (MSV) programme, we’re looking for Volunteer Mentors to build trusted, respectful relationships and help individuals move forward in life. You’ll be matched with someone in Dundee who is currently facing challenges such as unemployment, low confidence or lack of direction.
Your role involves meeting regularly, typically once a week in the local community, to set goals and work together on steps to achieve them. You may support your mentee in a range of ways, such as building confidence, improving English, developing soft skills, writing a CV, searching for jobs or exploring training and qualifications.
What you do together will depend on the individual, but we’ll support you every step of the way with training, resources and guidance. We match mentors and mentees based on shared interests, as well as your experience and preferences.
Some of the people we support have specific career aspirations, and hearing from someone with lived experience in that field can be hugely valuable. If your career background could help someone take their next step, we’d love to hear about it in your application.
