Current volunteering opportunities:

There are lots of interesting ways to get involved in our Read Easy group and we currently have several volunteering vacancies on our local Management Team:

Team Leader : we’re looking for a new Leader to take over from our current Team Leader who will be stepping down from their role next year. If you’re inspired to lead others, be part of a genuinely transformational charity and provide support and guidance to a team of local volunteers, this could be the perfect role for you. This will appeal to people who are motivated by managing a team of diverse volunteers, and by the challenge of ultimately helping hundreds of adults in their community who can’t read.
Community Engagement and Referrals Networker: this is a vital and stimulating role to create and develop relationships with local agencies, such as Job Centres, social services and local communities who can help identify and refer potential readers to the group. This role will appeal to you if you thrive on networking and making new connections. The impact our group makes is ultimately down to reaching and securing a steady stream of Readers, so you will play an instrumental part in making sure your group thrives.
Secretary : this is an important role to ensure the smooth running of our local Management Team, and it provides essential administrative support to our team of volunteers. If you’re a rigorous timekeeper and an organised individual with good administration skills, this could be an ideal role for you.
