If you are looking to make a difference in a local community and find a fulfilling role whilst building your professional skillset, then look no further! Our volunteers love building a rapport with each pupil, seeing pupil growth, and personal confidence increase across the 12 week programme. By the end of the programme, you will see how the support you give has enabled a young person to not only double their expected progress, but also build long term resilience. Alongside this meaningful experience, you will also be able to gain access to our career mentorship scheme and attend our employability seminars, as well as receiving a personalised reference upon completion. This is an opportunity to expand your professional network, enhance your CV and improve your employability skills - all whilst supporting young people from low-income backgrounds!
• Enthusiasm and strong grades in English/maths. • Committed and organised individuals who are keen to develop new skills. • Individuals who are passionate about social mobility and helping to reduce the education attainment gap. • Good interpersonal skills when dealing with pupils.
• Full tutor-training, including safeguarding training. • Ongoing coaching, training and support from an experienced teacher during your placement. • Lesson observations alongside personalised developmental feedback and logged classroom hours. • Opportunities to attend employability workshops incl. cover letter writing skills and coding.
• You can choose a programme that suits your timetable and location. • Sessions are between 60-90 minutes and will take place on a fixed day of the week, normally at the end of the school day (between 3-5pm). • Each programme runs across a 12 week period, usually during term time. You will be expected to volunteer for at least one programme (10-12 weeks).
