Your energy, enthusiasm and relational skills could make a huge difference for children and young people needing support

Mentoring Plus is an award-winning community charity supporting children and young people across Bath & NE Somerset who are struggling with education, family difficulties or emotional wellbeing. Our vision is a world where all young people feel safe, feel heard and feel hopeful for their future.

Our charitably funded work provides trained volunteer mentors and skills-building group activities to help young people feel happier, stay safe, engage with education and reduce risk-taking behaviour.

Young people choose to engage with mentoring even when all other interventions fail. Since 1998 we’ve enabled our community volunteers to support over 2,000 children and young people to feel more confident, improve their wellbeing and pursue positive new interests and pathways.

We’ve held a local authority commission for early help volunteer mentoring since 2005. We’re building a professional mentoring practice to support higher-need young people, and in 2018 won a second commission to support students at risk of school exclusion, renewed in 2025. We also provide open-access youth clubs 2 nights per week.

Role profile: An exciting, flexible opportunity to join a small and committed fundraising team at Mentoring Plus. We’re looking for someone who is a confident event organiser and relationship builder, who can develop and leverage connections with individuals, businesses and external event organisers to maximise opportunities.

With lots of support from the wider team, you’ll be responsible for a number of key fundraising events over the year, while supporting campaigns, networking and enterprise projects in between.
