Mentoring

Mentoring partnerships are set up in May and November and you can apply for the scheme at any time throughout the year.

The deadline to apply for the May 2025 matching process is by midnight on 25 April 2025. 

Each mentoring pairing will agree on the frequency and time spent, but as a guide, we recommend typically 90 minutes per month should be considered for an effective experience. Our Mentoring FAQs webpage has more information about the scheme and how it works and what you can expect.

Mentors and mentees are provided with a range of resources to support them in the scheme and to get the most out of the experience - this includes a series of mentoring workshops and events. In 2023, we made some changes to the scheme to enhance your experience as a mentor and mentee.
