Mentor Manager

Chapter2 is a young and growing charity that is uniquely focused on helping one of the most at-risk groups within our communities: fatherless boys.

Millions of boys in the UK are growing up without any meaningful contact with their father and the consequences can be profound. Chapter2 is combatting this worsening trend across Reading by offering dedicated long-term male mentors for fatherless boys.

We have two mentoring programmes:

1. Partnership programme: The provision of trained and assessed mentors for young persons is achieved in partnership with a “Partner Organisation” such as a local church.
2. Centralised programme: The provision of trained and assessed mentors for young persons is achieved independently by Chapter2.

This role is an exciting opportunity to help grow our Centralised programme. This role is ideally suited to an outgoing self-starter who is comfortable working within an open and fast-moving environment.

The main purpose of the role is to recruit, train and supervise mentors. We are looking for a highly motivated individual whose personality, experience and skills are flexible and adept in navigating a range of responsibilities.

We would consider either a part-time (minimum 3 days a week) or full-time position for this role.

As a charity with a Christian ethos, we want to bring our faith to the work we do and the men we work with. We are looking for someone with a deep-rooted Christian faith that plays a key role in their everyday life, seeking the guidance of the God’s will in all key decisions.

Therefore, under the Equality Act 2010, this post has an occupational requirement to be a Christian.

Initially this is a one-year contract with a 3-month probationary period.

Work Location: Reading Area. This role is predominantly home-based. During the probationary period, two days per week will be face-to-face. The role will require regular face-to-face meetings in the Reading Area.

The role will require the successful candidate to have a DBS Enhanced Disclosure.

Please send your CV together with a covering letter detailing why you are suitable for this role. Applicants without a covering letter will not be considered for the role.

Interviews will be held w/c 28 October 2024.

Salary: £28,000 – £34,000 FTE (dependent on skills and experience).
