Mentoring Scheme 2013/14

Creative Leicestershire is pleased to announce that the next round of mentoring is open for applications.

We are looking for 10 individuals at any stage of their career, to be a part of our mentoring scheme for 2013/14.

Over a 6 month period you will work with a mentor who will help you with your professional development, as well as receiving £500 towards any training and/or professional development activities that will help you with your career development.

You may apply with a mentor in mind or not. If you don’t have a mentor lined up we will work with you to find you a suitable person. If you have a mentor in mind, they don’t have to be based locally, but bear in mind that the scheme can’t cover your travel costs.


To apply you must be:

  • based in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland 
  • over 18 years old
  • currently working professionally full or part-time in the arts sector (either as an artist/creative or arts administrator/manager)

Previous mentees on the programme have said the scheme helped them by:

"I will have more confidence in what I offer as a professional practitioner."

"My mentor was key in making me feel understood when I was struggling and also helped me to
celebrate my achievments"

If  you have any questions regarding the scheme, please email lucia.masundire@leics.gov.uk

Deadline to apply: Monday 1 July
