    Want to get involved in being a Mentor?

    As a Mentor you will contribute to a community of best practice, supporting trainee Members through their consolidation period between training and assessment. You’ll share your knowledge, skills and experiences to build your Mentee’s confidence and help them to achieve their goals.

    What the role entails

    This years Mentoring Programme will start at the beginning of July.

    Initial commitment is for 12 months, and Mentors are expected to:

    • Create a written mentoring agreement with your Mentee outlining your intended working partnership.
    • Conduct a minimum of six sessions with a Mentee, consisting of reflective questioning, advice and guidance and promoting self-reflection.
    • Arrange at least two face-to-face meetings with your Mentee. These opportunities allow you to forge a stronger rapport with each other, and could be used, for example, to observe/assist one another working with groups, to walk or climb together or to have a café meeting to discuss progress.
    • Complete monitoring and evaluation documentation to help MTA develop the programme and demonstrate impact (1 online survey evaluation during the 12 month period).
    • Share your experiences and evidence of good practice with peers.

    We are looking for Mentors with the following attributes:

    • At least one Mountain Training qualification.
    • Understanding of the relevance of diversity and inclusion in the adventure activities sector.
