Be a mentor

HQ is looking for members to consider becoming NUJ mentors to help support new or inexperienced reps.

So it's looking for experienced members or reps to fill the role - you don't necessarily have to have been a chapel FoC or branch official.

The degree of commitment will vary - it could be training or supporting someone where you work or, at a branch level, being at the end of a phone to help reps.

The union is willing to make training available to any member wanting to be a mentor - if you feel it would be handy. In most cases the arrangement will be more of an informal support mechanism.

We'll be discussing this at the February meeting. So if you feel able to get in touch let us know - we've been asked to forward names of willing candidates to HQ by the end of March.
