Mentoring List
Not sure if everyone would agree but there seems to be a lot of people out there asking for some mentoring or some coaching to gain experience in the workplace.
I know I have agreed to let a member of the forums come and visit me next month to allow them to see what I get up to and to let them gain experience/set their minds at rest that they are on the right track.
I am up for doing some voluntary mentoring if the person can get to my workplace maybe 1 day per week. this also fits into doing voluntary work for CPD, so a win-win situation.
I am not sure if there will be enough members or employers willing to let this happen but I feel it would benefit lots of people trying to get on the first rung of the H&S Ladder.
Is there somewhere on the HSfB site would could list possible mentors and their locations?

Re: Mentoring List
This is something I have a huge interest in Will and thank you so much for actually doing something to help people in this situation.
I think Jack could offer some sort of HSfB area if only initially to put a sticky post in the forums to find out how many people would or could offer this help.
In fact, I will make this post into a sticky one for the time being to see who has the wherewithal to offer any help.

Re: Mentoring List
That sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately it's not something I'm in a position to do!
So when the whole world is safe..............what are we going to do then?

Re: Mentoring List
Some may not remember a Moderator on here called Gladiator, when I started studying for my NEBOSH he in a way mentored me. I never visited his work and was not always on the phone to him but effectively “he was there if needed”
When I got my first job interview he coached me through and I got the job and when I started suffering from confidence issues, again he was there.
I have done the same over the years in Safety so what I do saying is don’t rule out being a mentor as mentoring does not have to be coming to someone’s work.

Gladiator is one of our many members who, silently and offline still do this today.dave247 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 07, 2018 5:18 am Some may not remember a Moderator on here called Gladiator, when I started studying for my NEBOSH he in a way mentored me.

Agree totally Dave, mentors come in all shapes and sizes and places. I salute them all.

Re: Mentoring List
I would love to do some mentoring, but my employers simply would not entertain it

Re: Mentoring List
Just revisiting this. I have recently changed employers (hopefully for the last time in a long while!). When I get settled here I'll run it past my employer who I am optimistic will be willing for someone to do some shadowing.
So when the whole world is safe..............what are we going to do then?

Re: Mentoring List
Just wondering if any of our members are signed up to the IOSH Mentoring scheme (as mentors) as I have now signed up for IPD and am looking for mentoring support.
