Mentor for young adult affected by Cystic Fibrosis

Mentoring is a really fantastic and rewarding way to make a significant difference to the life of someone else. Apart from the personal satisfaction of helping someone, it is also an opportunity to enhance your own life and build new skills.

A minimum commitment of 1 year is needed to ensure these goals can be met.

Adults living with this progressive and debilitating condition can face a variety of challenges that disadvantage them socially, financially and in the workplace. The restrictions on their lifestyle can leave them isolated and sometimes struggling to cope. A Mentor will meet with young adult(s) regularly to build a trusting one to one relationship and provide ongoing practical support. The relationship will help achieve a better quality of life by broadening their horizons, improving their confidence and increasing their independence.

Experience required

  • Good listener
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • Good organisational and recording skills
  • Empathy

Travel expenses

Support

Induction training before any volunteering can begin. Ongoing training as and when required e.g. benefits training. Induction and training likely to be in Edinburgh on a Saturday but support given locally.

Restrictions

  • Minimum age: 19
  • Ideally should drive and have access to a car.

Frequency & commitment

Meet for 3 hours every 2 weeks. Commitment for up to a year.
