Mentors - Fix Up, Look Sharp

Fix Up, Look Sharp helps men into employment by making sure they show up confident, prepared, and job-ready.

We’re now launching a new mentorship programme to support men not just into work, but through the critical early weeks of employment — and we’re looking for volunteer mentors to be part of it.

As a mentor, you’ll provide practical, encouraging support to someone starting a new job. This might include regular check-ins, helping them navigate early challenges at work, and being a steady, positive presence as they build confidence and routines.

You don’t need to be a career coach or have specialist training. We’re looking for people who are reliable, good listeners, and happy to offer encouragement and common-sense advice.

What’s involved:
• 1:1 support for a man starting work
• Flexible time commitment (typically a short check-in once a fortnight)
• Support and guidance from the Fix Up, Look Sharp team

This role is ideal for people who:
• Want to make a practical difference in someone’s life
• Have lived or work experience they’re happy to share
• Believe that small, consistent support can change outcomes

If you’d like to help someone move from their first day on the job to their first pay cheque — and beyond — we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements:

• Friendly, dependable, and keen to support others
• Available for brief, regular check-ins
• Willing to complete police vetting and basic onboarding

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

To be agreed.
