Glasgow, United Kingdom Theorise Ltd Full time

Theorise is looking for a qualified and experienced Mental Health Mentor to work with students for our clients across Glasgow. This role will involve working as part of Theorise external support team to deliver specialist one-to-one mental health mentoring sessions and interventions for students within specific professional guidelines and internal policies, to promote independence and enable students to fully reach their potential and maximise their academic student experience.

Mentors will utilise a full understanding of the specialist mental health field in contributing to the work activities of Student Support Services for our client.

**What is the role of a Mental Health Mentor?**

The aim of mental health mentoring is to provide support that enables a student to more independently manage their mental health condition and reduce the potential impact of the condition on their studies. Mentors can assist students in identifying barriers to their success and adopt more effective study strategies. They may address the student’s expectations of themselves and others, address timetabling issues and clarify goals. Students may also benefit from support that helps them manage the impact of a recent diagnosis or the effects of medication on their studies.

The role of Mental Health Mentor is not the same as counselling and does not replace the role of the University’s Mental Health Advisers, who may provide therapeutic support to students with more severe difficulties, or who are experiencing crisis situations. Mental Health Advisers may also make referrals to other agencies when required.

- A flexible approach to working hours is required.
- Manage paperwork effectively, i.e. completing time sheets and any reports required.
- You will be expected to represent Theorise in a professional manner, this includes adhering to our policies regarding confidentiality and safeguarding.

**Skills, Knowledge & Experience required**

- Ability to communicate with the student to understand their needs and devise an appropriate plan for delivering support and how it will be used to achieve identified goals Ability to understand the needs, objectives and constraints of others.
- Experience of working with students in a higher education environment on a one-to-one basis is desirable however this may be overlooked dependant on experience in other suitable fields.
