We Are Recruiting Associate Regional Trainers based in London
Closing date: 31st January 2020
An exciting opportunity to help support the development of a growing adult literacy charity as it expands across England.
We are looking for an associate freelance trainer, with a strong background in literacy and based in London, to deliver training for new volunteer reading coaches. It is anticipated that this would be on the basis of approximately one or two days a month to begin with, but would increase as the number of groups in each region grows. Whilst most training will be delivered within the South and South East of the country, travel to deliver training in our other regions will occasionally be required.
One in 20 adults in the UK has never learnt to read at all, but it is never too late to learn. Read Easy UK is a volunteer organisation that delivers one-to-one reading coaching to adults aged from 18-88 through a network of affiliated, locally-run volunteer groups.
Read Easy UK is the registered charity and umbrella organisation, based in north Gloucestershire, which supports this network of volunteer groups. In total, Read Easy currently supports around 900 volunteers across South West, South, Central and North West England and is now expanding its reach into the South East.
The successful candidate will need to have a strong background in literacy (preferably with adults), at least two years’ experience in delivering training, and an understanding of the issues involved in working in the voluntary sector. (Trainers without literacy experience will not be considered.)
Remuneration: you will be paid per training day plus travelling expenses.
To apply, please send your CV with a covering letter to evidence in detail how you meet each of the criteria for this post info@readeasy.org.uk
Applications submitted without a covering letter that addresses the job description will not be considered.
