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:

Treasurer : If you have a head for figures and statistics, then volunteering as a local group Treasurer is the perfect opportunity for you to get involved with a really worthy cause. Our Treasurers must ensure the accurate management and recording of the group’s income and expenditure and work closely with the Management Team to explain what the group needs to raise to support its activities for the year.
Administrator/Secretary : If you’re a rigorous timekeeper and an organised individual, then your administration skills will be vital to support the smooth running of the local Management Team. By supporting other volunteers on your team with administration as well as taking minutes, keeping records up to date and managing internal and external communications, a Read Easy Administrator ensures that the group functions at its best and works in the most efficient and effective way to help adults in your community learn to read.
Safeguarding Champion : Our volunteer Safeguarding Champions ensure that their group implements, understand and follow the Read Easy UK Safeguarding Policy and organises DBS checks for their local volunteers. This is a valuable role on the team with responsibility for the Reader’s and the Reading Coach’s safety
