S2S Mentor Trainer Programme

An S2S Mentor Trainer is a student who has trained and volunteered as a Mentor and delivers training to the next cohort of Mentors.

Mentor Trainers are paid to deliver a total of 40 4-hour trainings across the months of February-April, alongside another Mentor Trainer. Using their own experience and understanding of being a Mentor, they deliver training in icebreakers, campus tours, event planning, active listening, conflict resolution and referrals and signposting. 

Applications for Mentor training for 2026 will open towards the end of the first term in 2025. Keep an eye on our Instagram (@tcds2s) or this webpage for more information when applications open.

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.
