We are recruiting for a 

​

​​MentorMe Project Liaison Officer 

Salary £22,800, 4 days a week (£28,500 FTE) 

​ 

Could you empower people with a criminal conviction, and volunteers to mentor them, by delivering a goals-based mentoring programme for meaningful, crime-free lives?

 

Sixty-One is a Bristol-based charity providing relational and practical support to men and women with a criminal conviction and the motivation to change. We also seek to inspire, engage and equip the church and individual Christians to join our work as a practical expression of Jesus’s love for people on the margins.

 

MentorMe, Sixty-One’s mentoring project for people with a criminal conviction, is looking for a Project Liaison Officer, 4 days a week (30 hours)

 

Are you: Passionate about supporting people who have experience of the Criminal Justice System?

 

Do you:  Have experience of working with people with complex needs?

 

Could you: Bring your excellent people, training and mentoring skills, to our team?

 

Job Focus: This is a case-working role and as such involves facilitating, managing and administrating mentoring relationships, rather than direct one-to-one mentoring. You will need strong people, training and administrative skills to build relationships and rapport, to deliver mentoring training and to manage and advise people well.

 

This role carries an all-male caseload and includes supporting people with convictions for violent and sexual offences. As such the successful candidate must be comfortable working with individuals with these offences.

 

Occupational Requirement:

 

A full and active understanding of the Christian faith and Jesus’ teachings as well as the church landscape are key to this role. It is also considered that the need to support mentors (currently) drawn exclusively from churches – for instance with prayer support – and the need to personally model the work of Sixty-One to churches and mentors requires the role to be undertaken by a professing Christian. It is considered that these occupational requirements fall within the exceptions in the Equalities Act 2010.

 

To apply please download an application form. Please complete this, along with an Equalities Monitoring form, and return by midnight on Thursday 3rd September 2026 (applications to be sent by email to alisonp@sixty-one.org or by post to our office address on the website).

 

PLEASE NOTE: It is important to refer to the person specification in the job description when completing section five of the application form.

 

Interviews will provisionally be held w/c Tuesday 22nd September 2026​​
