Work directly with young people: Yes
Age range of young people: 11-18
Disclosure Check: Enhanced DBS
Term of opportunity: Participation in two Mosaic programmes during the 2026-2027 academic year
Location: Greater Manchester
Commitment
- This role involves attending a mandatory in‑person training session at the King’s Trust Manchester centre, along with up to 3 hours of online training.
- Each programme runs for eight weeks, with approximately one hour per week spent delivering sessions in schools, plus additional time for planning and preparation.
- Education Mentors are expected to support two programmes per academic year and attend at least six out of eight Mosaic sessions during each programme.
The King’s Trust Mosaic programme is a group mentoring scheme for learners aged 11‑18. It is delivered on‑site with school partners and aims to raise learner aspirations, build self‑belief, and develop employability skills for young people.
The Mosaic scheme consists of 8 mentoring sessions over 8 weeks, building group rapport and covering essential topics such as communication, goal setting, and problem solving. Sessions are delivered with a consistent group of young people, allowing Mentors to build meaningful connections and observe progress over time. Most projects conclude with a ‘World of Work’ visit with a local employer.
