Experienced Working Parent Mentor – Supporting Mums Returning to Work with Confidence and Success

About Us

At Mentor Mums CIC, we are a dynamic and innovative organization dedicated to empowering mums returning to work after maternity leave. Our mission is to provide a supportive community and expert guidance to help these talented individuals transition back to their careers with confidence and success. We believe that every mum deserves the opportunity to thrive in her profession, and our team is passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of our mentees.

What We Do

Mentor Mums matches mums returning to work after maternity leave with a mentor in the same profession, providing a unique opportunity for them to learn from someone who has walked in their shoes. Our mentors are working parents themselves, with a deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with balancing work and family life. We believe that this lived experience is invaluable in helping our mentees navigate the complexities of returning to work.

The Difference You Will Make

Our mentors tell us that they sign up because they wish they had had this support when they returned to work. And for those they help, the difference is incredible. People tell us that we have helped them overcome mental health issues, have difficult conversations in the workplace, negotiate contract changes or promotions, and even change jobs. The rewards of mentoring come not only from knowing you've helped keep someone else's career on track, but also in having to think outside the box as you guide someone else through various challenges. Mentors tell us that this helps them grow and develop too.
