Benefits for the Mentee can include:

• Increased confidence/self-esteem
• Increased sense of value within your job and the Clinical School
• Help and support
• Safe learning environment (can be open about vulnerabilities)
• Increased understanding of your role within the Clinical School
• Focus on specific skills
• Ideas about career opportunities

The benefits are not all one way.  Mentors too can gain a sense of value as well as satisfaction from passing on their skills and wisdom; also greater understanding of the Clinical School and how it works, as well as improving one-to-one communication skills, coaching skills and management skills.
