Job description

Could you be the person who helps a young man rewrite his future?
At Trailblazers, we believe in second chances. Since 1998, we’ve been mentoring young men in prison to reduce re-offending and inspire new futures. Through a programme of 1:1 mentoring and practical support, we support men aged 18–35 during the last 6 months of their sentence and for up to 12 months after release.

In London, our services run at HMP Brixton and HMPYOI Isis, and we’re looking for volunteer mentors who can commit half a day per week to help someone change their life.

What You’ll Do

  • Be a positive and empathetic role model whilst supporting someone to fulfil their potential
  • Meet regularly to build a supportive, consistent relationship with a mentee for a minimum of 12 months
  • Help set goals and celebrate achievements
  • Support reintegration into the community, education, and employment
  • Attend and participate fully in mentor training and develop an understanding of the role, responsibilities and boundaries of a volunteer mentor
  • Engage with ongoing support and supervision sessions to regularly review performance within mentoring relationships
  • Perform your role in line with the aims of Trailblazers, following relevant policies and procedures and reporting safeguarding concerns immediately
  • Keep mentoring session notes and communicate regularly with Trailblazers staff

Mentoring sessions last around 1 hour per week, with additional time needed for travel and liaison. We ask for a 12-month commitment to ensure consistency for the mentee.

Why It Matters

The national re-offending rate is up to 55%. For those with a Trailblazers mentor, it drops to just 7%. Your time could be the turning point in someone’s life.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome all backgrounds and skill sets, especially those with experience in:

  • The criminal justice system
  • Underrepresented communities (including BAME groups)

All we ask if that you are:

  • Empathetic, non-judgmental and committed to social change
  • Professional but relatable with strong communication skills
  • Able to advocate for your mentee and help them to overcome barriers
  • Comfortable using basic IT and taking guidance from staff
  • Willing to travel and undertake visits for mentoring sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis
  • Committed to supporting one young man for up to a year

 Requirements

  • Aged 21+
  • British citizen (due to prison security checks)
  • Live within 30 miles of the prison at which you want to volunteer
  • Good level of fitness (prison visits may involve stairs and fast-paced movement)
  • Not barred from working with vulnerable adults or children
  • If you have lived experience of the criminal justice system, you must be off licence for at least 12 months and not in crisis
  • You cannot volunteer at a prison where you were previously a resident

What We Offer

  • Full training and ongoing support
  • Out-of-pocket expenses covered
  • A chance to make a real difference
