Is this role for me?

If you've been a Mentor in the past and have a passion to train and share that experience, than this is the role for you!  You do need to make a few commitments though - you'll need to be able to deliver at least 1 training session per week. This may change depending on the number of Trainers. You'll also need to take part in an informal 15 minute interview and a 4-hr training session in January.

What is the application process?

The first step is to read the role description and see if the role is right for you. Take some time to consider whether you can commit to the role. Then you fill out an application above (or below). Once you fill in an application, you will be invited to take part in a 15 minute (in person) interview. If successful, you will be invited to training in February. Once all that is completed, you will be a fully fledged Mentor Trainer!

How do I become a Mentor Trainer?

Mentor Trainer recruitment is open currently. You apply in the application form below.

What is involved in applying?

Once you complete the application form, you will be invited to take part in a 15 minute interview. If successful you will be invited to training. To deliver Mentor trainings, you will fist have to complete your own Training.

Is this position paid or voluntary?

This position is paid! You will be paid €14 an hour to deliver the trainings.

Can I arrive late to training/leave early?

We're sorry, but that's really not an option. You need to attend the full training session in order to become a Trainer. When delivering training, you need to be available for the full 4 hours. 

I can't deliver any of the trainings on the dates available, can I still apply?

Before applying, you need to make sure you can commit to deliver at least 1 training per week. S2S will be relying on Mentor Trainers to deliver Mentor training this semester, so it is important to consider whether you can make the commitment.

Will I be delivering training on my own?

No, you will be co-delivering the session with another Trainer.
