Job Description

Stonewall is pleased to be part of Equal Power Equal Voice (EPEV). EPEV is an all-Wales cross-equalities mentoring and training programme working to increase representation from diverse and underrepresented groups in public and political life in Wales. We aim to achieve this through training, networking, and one-to-one mentoring. 
 
Equal Power Equal Voice (EPEV) is a partnership between Women's Equality Network (WEN) Wales,  Stonewall Cymru, Disability Wales, and Ethnic Minorities & Youth Support Team (EYST) Wales.    
 
Applications are now open for mentees and mentors. We’re interested in recruiting mentors from the LGBTQ+ community, and we welcome mentor applications from those across the UK. Mentees must be based in Wales. 

The role of a mentor is to:

• Help the mentee to focus and identify the actions they need to take in order to achieve what they want
• Provide support, structure, ideas, and inspiration
• Help the mentee build confidence and networks
• Offer an alternative view on situations and problems and a chance to discuss issues with someone external
• Guide the mentee by referring them to others when their own experience is insufficient.
   

Mentors should:

• Be able to commit to approximately 1 hour every 4-6 weeks either in person, online or on the phone
• Be clear on when they are available to their mentee
• Appreciate the importance of confidentiality and manage the expectations of the mentee
• Be aware of their own limitations and boundaries
• Be non-judgmental
• Be open to new experiences, new perspectives and new ideas
• Have good communications skills, including an ability to listen, question, negotiate well, and give constructive feedback.
