Job description

What is the role

Do you live or work in Hackney?

Are you looking to impact a young person’s life and make a difference in the community?

Join us today at The Kids Network and become a mentor!

What is the role

  • The Kids Network is looking for committed, fun and passionate volunteers who live in or near to Hackney to make a difference to the children of London.
  • Our structured mentoring programme supports 8-11 year olds with their social and emotional development before they transition into secondary school.
  • As a mentor, you will hold weekly one-to-one sessions of 1-3 hours. You will help to build confidence, resilience and support your mentee to manage feelings through a series of fun and positive experiences and activities.
  • The weekly sessions can be during the weekday after school or at the weekends.
  • You will also get to meet fellow adults in your community through our peer network.
  • All volunteers will benefit from our two-day training where you'll gain skills and knowledge to support you as a mentor. (Many mentors share that the skills developed support their progression in the workplace, especially those seeking to gain experience working with children and young people)

What impact will this have?

  • Help build resilience and confidence in a child in your local community.
  • Learn from fellow mentors with our amazing peer network.
  • Help a child as they transition from primary to secondary school.

Expenses

  • Our mentoring pairs will have a budget of £30 per month. We are also able to cover travel expenses.

Training

  • Our induction training will provide you with all the skills and knowledge to support your mentee, including safeguarding, health and safety, child-led mentoring and understanding your role.
  • We offer additional training throughout the year to in anti-oppression, trauma-informed practice and lots more to help enhance your mentoring journey and your personal and professional development.

A DBS check is required but is organised and paid for by The Kids Network.
