An opportunity to get involved in mentoring

The University staff mentoring scheme is open for applications Monday 5 May to Friday 30 May 2025. This is for mentoring relationships running from July-December 2025.

The purpose of the scheme

To provide a mentoring provision throughout the University of York, where staff can be matched with more experienced staff (i.e. in terms of grade, expertise in an area etc.) and benefit from their knowledge and experiences to support their development and reach their potential.
