Make a difference become a Step Mentor!

Steps2Work Wellbeing is a new initiative from Surrey Care Trust, funded through Surrey County Council’s and Surrey Heartland’s Mental Health Investment Fund. Designed to improve the mental health of people experiencing unemployment, this free and unique programme combines a holistic combination of 1:1 support from experienced staff and trained volunteer mentors, and nature based therapy activities.

Working from community hubs in Woking, Reigate, and Stanwell, the team can:

Work with beneficiaries to identify their needs, aspirations and mental health challenges

Develop goals and next-steps for employment & positive mental health

Match clients with volunteer mentors who can provide long term support

Offer optional group nature-based therapy sessions

The service is intended to help people of working age who are struggling with their mental health and employment.

What skills do I need?

Good all round level of education and/or life experiences is essential. 

You must be able to form non-judgemental and constructive relationships with young people aged 14-16 years and to hold and understand clear boundaries. You must be able to work constructively as a member of a team and be enthusiastic, tolerant, dedicated and have a sense of humour.

Would be a benefit if you hold a current and valid driver's licence and car.
