PS&T Mentoring Scheme Launch

The Faculty of Brain Sciences is relaunching its Professional Services and Technical staff mentoring scheme.

The Faculty staff survey 2021 showed that only 36% of PS/T staff feel their Institute/Division support their career development equal to academic staff, demonstrating the real need for schemes such as this. Mentoring is a valuable method to support career development, for both mentors and mentees.

Last year, mentees reported gaining a better understanding of career development, and support identifying gaps in their skills and knowledge. Mentors reported a personal fulfilment from supporting junior staff progression, and improved communication and personal skills.

As we usually have more mentees apply than mentors, please consider signing up to be a mentor. Benefits of being a mentor include:
• Developing leadership and management qualities.
• Reinforcing your own knowledge of your profession.
• Increasing your confidence and motivation.
• Enhancing your CV.

Sign up to become a mentor or mentee here.

Registration will close Friday February 11th.
