Starting university can be a daunting time for some, which is why we’ve introduced our Peer Mentoring Scheme to help new students settle into their time at Liverpool.
Whether it’s organising a social event, signposting students to events and activities, catching up over a cuppa, or sharing a day in the life of your university experience, you’ll be there at those trying times when your peers need you the most!
We’re now looking for students to apply to train as Peer Mentors for the next academic year.

You will receive training to support you in delivering mentoring to students in your faculty. You will also be provided you with a number of activities to carry out during your time in the role, as well as specific tasks to complete for your HEAR accreditation.
