SA Allied Health 10-Week Mentoring Program - Call for Expressions of Interest!
National Disability Services (NDS) has launched a virtual mentoring program, designed to help allied health practitioners build their careers in the disability sector. Mentors and mentees are invited to submit expressions of interest form for an October 2019 intake.
NDS is facilitate the virtual 10-week mentoring program, running from October through to December 2019. Mentors and mentees will define their own schedule of activities, and ongoing contact of 30 minutes once a fortnight will be encouraged. The program will be delivered primarily using virtual channels, however some face-to-face options may be provided. Online training will be provided prior to the start of the program.
Mentors are requested on a voluntary basis to support allied health practitioners who are ready to move to the next level in their career or simply feel more confident undertaking their current role. This opportunity provides mentors with the ability to reflect on their own experiences and share their learnings. Individuals with at least five years’ experience in the disability sector are encouraged to apply.
Allied health practitioners who are already working in the disability sector (or thinking of doing so) are able to be mentored free of charge for the 10-week intake. This is a chance to connect with and learn from experienced practitioners or leaders. Mentees will be linked with mentors who have similar learning goals and experience to support the mentee with their current position or future career goals.
