[QUOTE="Caroline, post: 1099, member: 99"] Hi, This is my first post although I registered a while ago as I am a member of Autism Bucks which was briefly having its meetings via this forum. I received some info on this via them. I am not looking for full-time - or even properly part-time - work at the moment as I am part-way through a psychology degree with the OU & also do some volunteer work once the Covid situation allows me to get back to it. However, I am potentially interested in the mentoring as it sounds like the sort of thing I would enjoy and could fit in (plus the extra cash would be handy!). I do have a few questions on that side: 1. What is the period over which the program is expected to run? 2. When is the training expected to take place? 3. Are applications open to non-working autistic applicants (although I have worked in a variety of roles/industries in the past)? 4. Is there expected to be any additional time commitment other than that stated and, if so, what would that likely be? 5. Is it possible to have a reference for the study mentioned? 6. Are you expected to have previous mentoring experience, or is the training provided comprehensive? I do have some transferable skills but have never mentored anyone or done job coaching. I can definitely provide a clean DBS as I have to have one done regularly for my voluntary role. I am not sure if it's too late in the day to be asking these questions as I have only just clicked on the links, if so please could you let me know and I'll email them directly? Thanks 😊 [/QUOTE]
