NEW! Mentoring Programme: Call for Mentors & Mentees 

We are thrilled to announce that we will be piloting a new Mentorship programme to begin this summer. We are calling on all VAS members interested in acting as either a mentor or a mentee. 

Interested in becoming a Mentee?

Are you looking for guidance in developing an area of your practice from an experienced practitioner, someone who’s been there and done that? Use this short mentee interest form to tell us a bit more about what type of guidance you are looking for!

Got the experience to be a Mentor?

Do you have mentorship experience, skills or an interest in supporting other practitioners? Use this short mentor interest form to tell us about areas you feel you could offer mentorship in. 

We are looking for 5 Mentors and 5 Mentees

This opportunity is open to all VAS members. Mentors will be selected based on experience. Our team will work to match mentors with mentees based on the needs and skills disclosed in your application. There will be an hourly stipend provided for mentors at a rate of £45.80 /hr based on 5+ Years experience SAU rates 26/27. 

If you are not matched this time around, we will keep all members who express interest in mentoring in our mentor pool. We may call on you when we find a mentee that seems like a good fit!
