Read Easy Telford & Wrekin was established in 2019 and continues to grow to be a highly impactful local group with an increasing number of Reading Pairs (Reading Coach and Reader).

It is run by a hard-working, dedicated group of team members, all of whom are also volunteers.
The group is now seeking a new Volunteer Recruiter. 

Role:

To manage the recruitment process of all volunteers for the group, and interview volunteers with the coordinator or team leader.

What do you need to have?

Volunteers needed to work alongside the Community Development Worker on a NEW project within the Army Welfare Service in Telford.  This project is the AWS Donnington Youth Forum and is aimed at young people aged 10-16 years.

The team is looking for enthusiastic and motivated volunteers to work with young people aged 10 years+ who have parents/carers who work in the military (or have previously served or who are reservists)

The main focus of this work is to look at what youth provision or activities they would like to see in the area and help to shape services. 

This will be the beginning of the work- then going into providing what provision is planned.

Likely to be a Wednesday 5.30-7.00pm.  Project due to start in September 2024
