Are you passionate about literacy and education? Do you have experience working with children or teaching in schools? Join our team in Berkshire as a volunteer trainer and help us deliver extended services.
What will you be doing?
As a volunteer trainer, you will play a crucial role in equipping students and parents with the tools and strategies needed to support students in improving their reading skills. Your expertise will directly impact the academic success of students and contribute to building a stronger community.
You will work alongside our volunteer trainer and trustee (retired headteacher) to help us deliver more workshops into schools. Through our core work of providing 1-1 support in primary we have quickly realised that students haven't developed strong literacy skills in primary school, they are struggling to keep up with the more advanced reading and writing demands in secondary school so we have expanded our services by providing buddy workshops and workshops to parents but we need more people to help us deliver this project.
Potential volunteers will work alongside another trainer and once confident then they may be asked to deliver a workshop alone. We also ensure that a member of staff or another volunteer is supporting the workshops being delivered by each trainer.
What skills do I need?
- Background in education, teaching, or related fields
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to work with diverse groups of students
- Commitment to promoting literacy and empowering young learners
- Gain valuable experience in training and education
- Work alongside dedicated professionals in a supportive environment
- Passionate about reading and improving children's literacy skills
- Experienced in the teaching of reading
- Knowledgeable on how children attain these skills
- Confident in delivering training to primary and secondary students.
