About the role
As a Mentor, you'll support a number of students through weekly one-to-one sessions. You’ll support them to overcome barriers to their learning with a toolkit of strategies in areas such as:
- time management
- organisation
- motivation

- managing stress
We are looking for applicants who are available for around 10+ hours per week. The hours of work vary, depending on student requirements. Hours of work could include evenings and weekends if you choose.
You will be registered with the University of Cambridge Temporary Employment Service.
This role involves hybrid working. Mentors are required to deliver some mentoring sessions in central Cambridge and some mentoring sessions online each week.

- have experience of working with disabled people
