What is a full-time mentor and how can they help me?

Our experienced mentors can help you navigate through barriers that are holding you back from achieving your desired future by developing a bespoke action plan.

As part of your bespoke action plan, our mentors will provide you with:

  • Access to training sessions
  • Work experience opportunities
  • Volunteering opportunities
  • Wellbeing activities
  • Access to IT equipment
  • Understanding your benefit entitlements and support with applications
  • Travel expenses *if identified as a barrier*

*If you are in receipt of Universal Credit, these activities will help you meet your Claimant Commitment*

One to One: ‘One off’ Support

What can I expect from ‘one-off’ support?

Whether you are in education, unemployed or seeking a new position, our ‘One-off’ support sessions have been put in place to help you overcome a particular barrier, including:

  • Job searches
  • Creating or updating CVs
  • Develop interview skills and techniques
  • Filling in application forms and other general employment support.

We offer this support through free weekly drop-in sessions held across Denbighshire.
