Read Easy Bristol
Helping adults learn to read
We need Volunteer Coordinators in South Bristol.
Are you interested in making a difference to adults' lives by supporting coaches to work with adults who are unable to read?
This role is essential in enabling people who want help with reading to meet with reading coaches in their area. You would be joining a friendly team of 8 coordinators and meeting interesting people from all walks of life.
Read Easy Bristol is part of RE UK, a growing national organisation https://readeasy.org.uk
The job entails informally assessing readers, interviewing potential coaches and arranging sessions in libraries and community centres across Bristol. You would be trained and supported by members of the management team and literacy specialists, and could build up to supporting 5 ot more readers with their coaches
If you can spare 2 hours a week or more, and can offer some flexibility to meet people during working hours, and are interested in helping people make life-changing improvements in their lives through the ability to read, this would suit you.
