Finance Mentor (Voluntary Role)

Organisation: Generation Success

Location: Flexible – Remote or In-Person (UK-wide)

Commitment: 3-6 month mentorship programme or a one-time industry event

Time Requirement: 1 hour per month (your schedule, your choice)

Imagine being the difference between ambition and achievement for a young person dreaming of a career in finance. Imagine sharing what you know to help someone bridge the gap between potential and opportunity in an industry often out of reach. As a Finance Mentor with Generation Success, you have that power – to guide, inspire, and open doors for talented, aspiring professionals who simply need a hand to help them step into their futures.

Generation Success is a movement of social change-makers dedicated to creating a fairer world where a person’s background does not determine their career. Our Success Seekers – young, ambitious people from underserved communities – are ready and eager to step into the finance world but face barriers they cannot break alone. They need mentors who can share insights, skills, and guidance to help them rise to the challenge.

We’re looking for finance professionals who care about making an impact. Mentors who believe that their story and their guidance can be the spark that ignites another’s success. You have the chance to be that person, guiding young talent to realise the career dreams they might otherwise never achieve.

• One-on-One Mentorship:

  • Choose a 3 or 6-month mentorship programme, meeting with your mentee for just 1 hour a month.
  • Guide them in developing skills, building confidence, and navigating the finance sector.
  • Share your experiences, provide constructive feedback, and help them overcome their personal career barriers.

• Industry Mash-Up Events:

  • For a shorter commitment, join one of our “Finance Mash-Up” events, providing one-off mentoring to a group of Success Seekers eager for insights and inspiration.

Your impact goes far beyond an hour. The guidance you provide has the power to change a life and reshape the finance sector to reflect a diversity of voices, stories, and talents.

Why Mentor 

• You have the experience, insights, and unique perspective to transform someone’s career journey, even if mentoring feels new.
• By mentoring, you are part of a movement to open doors and level the playing field in finance, creating a legacy of opportunity for underserved communities.
• The hour you share is meaningful, impactful, and has the potential to shift a career path, change a life, and create a more diverse finance industry.

Key Qualities

• Passion for supporting young people from diverse, underserved backgrounds
• Excellent communication and listening skills
• Empathy, patience, and a genuine interest in empowering young talent
• Dedication to advancing diversity, inclusion, and social mobility in finance

Benefits

• Inspire and empower the next generation of finance professionals
• Help drive diversity and inclusion within the finance sector
• Personal satisfaction from giving back to the community
• Join a network of like-minded professionals and mentors committed to social impact
