The scheme aims to match women Mentors and Mentees from the maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) sector. It is intended to give women who are already working or volunteering in maritime SAR, as well as those thinking about getting involved in the sector, an opportunity to be mentored by other women. One round of the mentoring scheme lasts for 6 months and involves 4-6 meetings between the Mentor and the Mentee.

Mentors need to be from an IMRF Member Organisation, but Mentees do not need to be part of an IMRF Membership Organisation.

All participants must be 18 years or over to be eligible for this scheme.

Once you’ve been accepted as an IMRF #WomenInSAR Mentee or Mentor, we’ll match you with your Mentor or Mentee. We aim to match as many applicants as possible, as quickly as possible, but we can’t guarantee that everyone will be offered a place, or that a suitable Mentor/Mentee will be found.

If you have any questions on our #WomenInSAR Initiative and/or our #WomenInSAR Mentoring Scheme, please contact Jaakko Heikkilä at j.heikkila@imrf.org.uk.
