Pathways to Law Mentor and Pathways to Banking and Finance Mentor

· The Pathway Mentor roles involve supporting 16–18-year-olds through our Pathways to Law or Pathways to Banking and Finance programme from Autumn Term 2026 to Winter Term 2028.

· Mentors support students at in-person and virtual events which take place every 4-6 weeks on average. (Not all mentors will be required at all events.)

· From June 2027, mentors will offer regular e-mentoring via an online platform – this involves providing information and advice to students around exploring future options, making applications and preparing for next steps.

· There will also be an opportunity to apply to work at the Pathways residential National Conference, held at the University of Warwick in the summer.

· You’ll make a positive impact on young people’s lives and contribute to LSE’s widening participation aims.

· You’ll develop rewarding professional relationships with prospective students from a variety of backgrounds.

· You’ll act as a role model and representative for LSE, your course and your department.

· You’ll develop transferable skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork and organisation.

· The work is fairly flexible, and you’ll be paid an hourly wage (currently £17.70, including for training).

· The Pathways to Law Mentor role is open to year 1 and year 2 undergraduate LSE students studying Law, Law and Anthropology, and Anthropology.

· The Pathways to Banking and Finance Mentor role is open to year 1 and year 2 undergraduate LSE students studying a finance-related degree (eg, from the Departments of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, Mathematics or Statistics).

Please note: LSE students are advised not to undertake more than one of the following roles due to the level of commitment and overlapping dates:

· Pathways Mentor

· Thrive Mentor

· Future Maths Tutor

However, students can combine one of these roles with Student Ambassador work due to its more flexible, ad hoc nature.

We encourage applications from care‑experienced students, those who received free school meals, and Black students, as these groups have been found to be underrepresented at LSE.

Applications are now closed for 2026. This page will be updated when applications reopen in September 2027.
