The Mentoring Programme

A mentoring programme for UK final year healthcare students.

Who we need

We are looking for registered healthcare professionals from across all disciplines to act as mentors for students in their final year of healthcare degrees. We need healthcare professionals working within the NHS to help mentees with the transition from student to professional.

As a mentor you will:

  • Develop leadership skills;

  • Develop mentoring skills;

  • Build your network of healthcare professionals;

  • Enhance your CV;

  • Help grow your profession

What is the Future Frontline Mentoring Programme?

A 1-year programme for final year students on healthcare degrees during which they will be paired with a qualified healthcare professional. Over the course of the year, the qualified professional will act as a mentor, providing support and advice to the student regarding the transition from healthcare student to professional. The aim of the programme is to equip final year students with the knowledge and skills to apply for, and transition into their first job. The programme also aims to help the healthcare professionals network and build relationships with other members of the MDT. Right from the selection process, the mentoring scheme will mimic some workplace procedures e.g. shortlisting and contract signing.

You will be expected to:

  • Meet with your mentee for 1 hour every quarter;

  • Provide your mentee with guidance on transitioning from a student to professional;

  • Support your mentee with job applications and interview preparation.
