Indeed. I've been interviewing candidates for "Senior Developer" and mentoring is in the job spec and list of questions we consider when evaluating candidates.
If someone gets hired with "mentoring" in their job description I don't think it's reasonable for them to expect to do none of it. Now, if their performance metrics don't account for this, that might be unreasonable ..

Was trying to work out how to give you the info without either of us posting personal information in the absence of a PM system AND the job is erroneously not listed on our website. Sigh. Probably easiest to phone the number on http://www.zonal.co.uk/zonal_careers/ and ask about the C++ job in Research&Development at Edinburgh.
