Poole, United Kingdom Dorset Reading Partners Full time

Dorset Reading Partners is seeking more volunteers to help inspire young children to read. If you love books, enjoy working with children and have two hours a week to spare (term time only), this could be the ideal role for you. Volunteers are placed in local schools and are provided with comprehensive training, all resources and full support from our team. Whether you are retired and looking for rewarding voluntary work, new to the area and keen to get involved in your local community, or perhaps thinking of a change in career and keen to gain some experience in school - this could be the perfect role for you. We require a commitment of one school year although the occasional week off is absolutely fine. Please get in touch _**with a covering letter**_ as soon as possible if you are interested, as we are currently recruiting for our next training course.

Volunteers go into school for two hours each week during term time. They work 1:1 with the same four children over the school year, seeing each child for half an hour outside the classroom. Using resources supplied by us, they talk, share books and play games in order to build up children's confidence and motivation, as well as their communication and literacy skills.

**Job Types**: Part-time, Volunteer

Schedule:

- No weekends

COVID-19 considerations:
We are working with our schools to create a safe working environment for all of our volunteers.
