Join Affinity Partnerships and Be the Difference That Lasts
At Affinity Partnerships, we believe every young person deserves to feel seen, supported, and capable of achieving more than they thought possible.
We are not just delivering support. We are building trust, stability, and opportunity for young people who need it most.
Because real change does not come from force. It comes from consistency.
It is the mentor who:
* Shows up every day
* Listens without judgement
* Stands steady when things get tough
For many young people facing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health challenges and Special Educational Needs, that kind of support is rare.
That is where you come in.
The Role: Youth Mentor
As a Youth Mentor in Gloucester, you will work directly with young people with SEMH and SEN, supporting them in both school and outreach settings.
This role is focused on building relationships, providing emotional support, and helping young people re‑engage with education and life.
