Commitment:

Most Mosaic projects conclude with a ‘World of Work’ visit with a local employer, giving young participants first-hand experience of what it’s really like in a contemporary UK workplace.

In return for your valuable time, you'll become part of a dedicated community of volunteers. You'll experience the satisfaction of directly impacting the success of young people, many of whom face significant barriers and challenges.

Key Considerations:

• This role involves attending a mandatory in-person training session at the King’s Trust Liverpool office, along with up to 3 hours of online training.
• Each Mosaic programme runs for eight weeks, with approximately one hour per week spent delivering sessions in schools, plus additional time for planning and preparation.
• Education Mentors are expected to support two programmes per academic year, and attend at least six out of eight Mosaic sessions during each programme.
• We are recruiting volunteers throughout the summer to lead the delivery of Mosaic projects in schools across Liverpool from September.
• Exact programme locations, dates and times will be confirmed, but all delivery will take place on school sites and during usual working hours. The flexibility and adaptability of our volunteers to attend these sessions is key to the project’s success.
