Join our team of Specialist Mentors offering individual support for students to gain equal access to their studies by providing guidance with non-subject specific study skills such as developing organisational skills, managing workloads and time management, as well as maintaining academic progress.
You will have proven and demonstrable experience of working individually with adults with mental health conditions and autistic students, as well as a high level of analytical and problem solving ability.
We require mentors at our Brighton and Eastbourne sites and ideally you will be able to commit to a minimum of two days a week, providing regular and consistent support. Each mentoring session will consist of mentoring and preparation work.
Recently, like most University of Brighton staff, mentors have been working remotely and supporting students via video calls. This may be part of the role as we return to campus in the next academic year but usually mentors work one to one with students in person on university sites.

• PLEASE NOTE due to government legislation all mentors must have membership of certain professional bodies to work with a) Students with Mental Health conditions and b) Autistic students, so we cannot accept applications from those that do not meet this criteria. Please check Pages 8-11 of the Mandatory Criteria for NMH registration document attached prior to making an application (also here Guidance for NMH Suppliers (slc.co.uk)* )*

In addition, a DBS check will be required for this role. Interviews will be held in September 2022.
This role is paid at £24.58 per hour. One session with a student, including writing up action-plans and arranging the next session should all be completed within one hour.
