​

​About our mentoring programme

Supporting women working within the retirement living sector is one of WIRL's three key objectives. We want to create lasting impact on the retirement sector and to grow it by fostering the best and most diverse talent.  

​

With our bespoke mentoring programme, we aim to bring together the best in the industry with those who will eventually change and grow the industry for one-to-one mentoring over a six month period.  

​

Why seek mentoring?

Mentoring gives people a safe place to ask the questions they may not otherwise get the opportunity to, to evaluate previous scenarios and most importantly to talk to someone who has most likely been in the same situations.

​

If you are looking to try for a promotion, you have been in an uncomfortable position and want to learn tools to deal with it in the future, or simply want to learn from those who have been there before, consider making an application.

​

Why mentor?

Being a mentor is incredibly rewarding by helping people grow, learn and achieve their goals. Using your skill and experience, you can help people decide what type of leader they will become, how to navigate situations, and help your mentees recognise their strength and potential.

​

We believe that you can create a lasting legacy by nurturing the next generation of leaders.

​

Application process

At this stage of our scheme, we are looking for mentees who are at a "mid-level" and already have direct reports (there will be opportunities for those at earlier stages in the future). We ask that you are prepared to commit 1-2 hours per month, along with preparatory work for sessions and are respectful of mentors' time. You will be expected to arrange meetings with your mentor and to attend those. In exchange you will benefit from the experience and guidance of a senior figure in the industry.

​​

The deadline for applications is 25th October.

As this is our pilot scheme, we will be matching a limited number of pairs. Don't be disappointed if you are not selected this time round, we intend to keep this rolling for some time so there will be more opportunities. In the meantime, please come along to our networking events and share ideas and questions with the warm and welcoming participants.

​

Not sure if this is for you? We hosted a speed mentoring session on 16 October which was a success so we will be offering it again next year. Keep an eye on our events page or socials, as it's a good way to find out more and get a taste of mentoring.
