Head of Mentoring
We are looking for an experienced, passionate, and highly skilled individual who is ready to help us increase our impact in the lives of young people and their families!
We are intending to build on our existing mentoring model that supports some of the most vulnerable and high-risk young people within the community. We aim to establish a fluid mentoring/coaching approach that works effectively across all our three streams of engagement (Schools, Community & Home). This includes work with young people who are underrepresented, marginalised and at high risk of criminal activity, gang involvement and anti-social behaviour.
A successful applicant will understand our values and culture as an organisation and will demonstrate a strong desire and evidence-based approach that will help us find solutions to the challenges within our community in an intentional and meaningful way.
Main Purpose of this Role
This is a new and exciting role at Reaching Higher that has been designed to effectively streamline our focus on mentoring across all our services. The purpose of this role is to lead on and develop an excellent mentoring provision that meets the needs of young people who are directly associated or at risk of youth offending. This includes working against recognised quality marks and developing evidence-based approaches in relation to mentoring. This role will work very closely with statutory services and will play a key role in developing a team to further expand this area of work. We aim to build on our existing theory of change and develop a robust impact measurement report across the entire organisation.
