Young Strathclyder Programme: STEM Student Mentor Recruitment

'Young Strathclyder<https://www.strath.ac.uk/professionalservices/accessequalityinclusionservice/wideningaccess/gettingready/youngstrathclyder/>' is the University's widening access schools outreach programme, established in January 2023. Working with pupils from primary school level upwards, the programme raises awareness of higher education, supports attainment, and offers exciting learning opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through the different levels of the programme, pupils undertake a series of interactive activities representing the four different faculties at Strathclyde.


The Widening Access Team is looking for current Strathclyde students studying STEM subjects to help deliver activities to groups of pupils taking part in Young Strathclyder. These activities will take place on-campus and in-schools. This is a great opportunity for students to develop their skills while making a positive difference to the educational outcomes of young people.


The hours on the programme are flexible and students will be able to choose which projects they are available to work on, based on their other commitments. The hourly rate for mentoring work is £12.30.

To apply for the role of mentor on the programme, please fill in our online application form here: https://forms.office.com/e/JkwuE3fG8N.

The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on Monday 2nd December 2024. Interviews will be held after this date.

If you have any questions, please just get in touch via email to: young-strathclyder at strath.ac.uk<mailto:young-strathclyder at strath.ac.uk>.



Best wishes
