Do you want to help people to start-up or grow their own Business?

As a Business Mentor, you will enjoy delivering support to people in both Groups and 121 settings. You will assess Customers' potential or existing business ideas during a brief Initial Assessment and then support successful candidates through a range of support over 8-10 weeks to develop a robust Business Plan and Cash-flow forecast. You will keep in touch with your Customers and offer continued support to ensure that they start to trade successfully and from there we offer continued support to maximise the sustainability of their business along with its growth.
We are looking for Business Mentors that are passionate about supporting people to start-up or grow their own business and particularly those that want to make a positive impact in their community.

• Business experience in starting up their own business or supporting other businesses to start-up.
• Ability to follow a pre-defined programme with every customer and draw out their individual aspirations, ambitions and support needs.

• Completing robust initial assessments and clearly evidencing your decision making surrounding eligibility
• Delivering Business Planning/ Financial and Marketing workshops to small groups recognising where additional support may be beneficial
• Having one to one mentoring sessions with your Customers and evidencing the positive impact of these meets
• Supporting customers to complete high quality Business Plans and Cash-flow forecasts efficiently and quickly
• Being highly compliant with our processes
You will also be comfortable in meeting performance targets set, which will be conversion based on Customers start on the provision and then start to trade and who then subsequently sustain trading to 6 and 12 months.
