MentorMe Project Liaison Officer

Could you empower people with a criminal conviction, and volunteers to mentor them, by delivering a goals-based mentoring programme for meaningful, crime-free lives? 

The MentorMe Project Manager ensures that the MentorMe mentoring project supports people with a criminal conviction in a manner that is likely to reduce reoffending, in each case in ways that are consistent with the Christian faith.

Our work includes supporting people with convictions for violent and sexual offences. In light of the fact that some individuals who we support will be unable to have a female case worker, there is an occupational requirement for this role to be filled by a man (biological male).

A full and active understanding of the Christian faith and Jesus’ teachings as well as the church landscape are key to this role. It is also considered that the need to support mentors (currently) drawn exclusively from churches – for instance with prayer support – and the need to personally

model the work of Sixty-One to churches and mentors requires the role to be undertaken by a professing Christian. It is considered that these occupational requirements fall within the exceptions in the Equalities Act 2010.
