Volunteer ESOL Teacher – for weekly off-site conversation class
Cardinal Hume Centre
ESOL teacher needed to run a class for mixed ability class on Wednesday mornings in Paddington
Our ESOL provision is part of the Centre’s Employment and Learning Service, which also includes digital inclusion and employment support. We have qualified volunteer ESOL teachers providing 1:1 support to clients who want to improve their English. We also have a couple of volunteers running small conversation classes at the Centre, within our Family Services. We now want to expand our ESOL offer to include learning opportunities offsite in a group setting to adults and young people in temporary accommodation, mainly asylum-seeking families.
