The role: We are currently recruiting for Specialist Mentors (Mental Health) based in and around London that can offer a hybrid approach to supporting students – this means you must be able to provide both online and in-person support.
Responsibilities: As a Specialist Mentor, you will be responsible for supporting students during their studies and helping them to develop effective learning strategies including:
- Helping students to stay focused on their studies – especially during times when their mental health may fluctuate
- Organisation and time management - planning and structuring workloads
- Managing anxiety and stress
- Executive functioning support – organisation, task prioritisation, balancing time
- Handling the emotional impact of study – such as academic stress or responding to or interpreting feedback
- Identifying students that may be at risk – either through disengagement or from various warning signs including actions, thoughts or behaviours
Experience and qualifications:
- You should understand different mental health conditions and how they may impact a student as part of their studies.
- It is essential that you hold a relevant professional body membership such as MBACP, BPS, COSCA, GMC, HCPC, ISPC, IACP, NCPS, NMC, SWE, SCW, NISCC, UKCP or UMHAN.
- The role would be well suited for qualified mental health professionals or practitioners such as a counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatric nurse, or mental health nurse. Many of our Specialist Mentors will support students alongside their main role as a mental health practitioner.
- Please write in the Cover Letter which professional body you are registered to.
