Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. The Prince’s Trust couldn’t function as well without the support of thousands of volunteers across the UK, who are able to offer a vital network to young people facing significant barriers to jobs, education or training.
Our employability and progression mentors provide one-to-one support, guidance, encouragement, and inspiration to a young person who has completed a Prince's Trust Programme. As an employability and progression mentor, you will offer knowledge, experience, and support to young people as they develop the skills, confidence and motivation to succeed - either in education or further training, through work experience, volunteering or by securing a job of their choice.
As an Employability and Progression Mentor, you’ll make a real difference to the lives of young people who attend The Prince’s Trust’s Explore Programme. You will meet on a regular basis with a young person and help them identify and achieve goals following their time on Explore.
You will offer guidance, support and encouragement and a safe space for a young person to discuss the skills they need to develop and how to do this. You will provide guidance on employability and job search issues, including supporting with CV writing and interview practice. You will provide active support between sessions as agreed, such as reviewing documentation, email responses, signposting where to find useful resources, networking connections; etc. And you will share relevant learning and useful resources with other volunteers and Trust colleagues that may benefit young people and our work.
Ideally, you would be available to mentor for one session a month for 6 months. Relevant experience can be developed during the role and you will receive training from The Prince’s Trust to help you in your role. It is helpful if you already have good communication skills; are able to give and receive constructive corrective feedback and have experience of job searches, application process and interview experiences.
In return for your valuable time, we provide the benefits of being part of a dedicated community of colleagues and volunteers, the satisfaction of directly impacting our success, and the undoubted personal development and pleasure that comes from working for the cause of, or directly with, children and young people, the majority of whom face significant barriers and have significant challenges to overcome
Here at The Prince's Trust, we're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that's representative of the communities we serve, which is why we strive for diversity of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity and perspective. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone, from any background, can be themselves and do the best work of their lives.
We’re a Stonewall Diversity Champion and we are an employer that is Disability Confident. Our staff, volunteers and young people are supported by PT CAN (our Cultural Awareness Network), PT GEN (Gender Equality Network), PT DAWN (Disability & Wellbeing Network) and Pulse (LGBT Network).
The Prince's Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of this commitment, we undertake basic disclosure checks in accordance with the Codes of Practice for all roles within the Trust, and for our roles working directly with young people, at an enhanced level. Having a criminal record will not automatically exclude applicants.

What our pupils say:
"My favourite part of Team Up is that it doesn’t feel as stressful as it does in a classroom. If you get something wrong in the classroom you have 30 people looking at you, but here you just have 2 people and so it doesn't matter if you get it wrong."
"Team Up is very encouraging - it builds your confidence in tests and it helps you to learn more words to use in your writing. Team Up is actually really cool."
'I felt nervous before starting Team Up because I get nervous when I meet new people ... Now I feel a lot more confident coming to the sessions, and it wasn’t at all as scary as I thought it would be! ... It also helps me to feel more confident to put my hand up in class, and I get less nervous when my teacher sets us challenging bits of work, or picks on people at random in the class, because I know I can answer maths questions better now.'

To support around 100 Afghan and Muslim girls, aged 8-16, from refugee communities to develop their participation in football. The project will enable them to develop football skills and knowledge, participate in games, and socialise in a female-only culturally appropriate ambience but within the wider open-access setting of public sports facilities and local parks. The project will give the girls confidence to participate, reassure their parents that their cultural practices are being respected, and increase the visibility of girls’ participation in sport among the wider community.
This project will enable these girls, who are often excluded from mainstream sport, to play football for their physical and psychological health. It challenges public stereotypes and under-representation of Afghan and Muslim girls in community sport. ACAA will create opportunities for them to play football in public spaces in West London. This volunteer will work alongside the Football Project Coordinator and Head Coach to run sessions.
