Role

Are you searching for a position with purpose? A role to make a real difference? Where your time can be transformational?

Join an award-winning charity and passionate team dedicated to ensuring the country’s most vulnerable young people are defined by their talent and never their circumstances. Our in-school mentoring has profound impacts on mentees in their confidence, wellbeing, achievement and post-school progression. MCR Mentors make and experience a life changing difference.

At MCR, our driving force is simple – that young people who are in, or on the edges of the care system, will have the same educational outcomes, career opportunities and life chances as any other young person.

We have had a transformational impact in schools and local authorities across Scotland and are looking for a Regional Pathways Coordinator to support our regional team in the West of Scotland. The area includes schools in West Dunbartonshire, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire.

The successful candidate will divide their time working across schools in local authorities across the West region and within our central Glasgow office to provide additional support to our existing teams of coordinators. This role requires flexibility and a willingness to travel between locations (travel expenses will be reimbursed).

The role will support schools and teams across the region as required and responsibilities can include delivering group work, delivering MCR's mentoring programme, supporting local mentor recruitment, supporting mentors through 1:1s and training, and additional responsibilities based on local need. You will be an integral part of the schools community and wider MCR team, liaising with education colleagues and external stakeholders, and delivering the programme to young people.

Please note: A driving licence is essential for this role.
