Volunteer Telford

AFC Telford is looking to recruit more volunteers to help on match days at the Telford Ground.

Would you like to be part of a friendly team of volunteers, and can you spare a few hours on Saturdays and sometimes during the week, for home games only?

Not every game requires a full turnstile crew and there are occasions when we need people to cover illness etc. for our regular staff; if you can’t commit to every game don’t worry, once we have a full team, others can cover you once in a while so we can be flexible.

Are you the right person for the role?

AFC Turnstile Operators

The role is very simple – you are based in the turnstiles, provided with a scanner on a mobile phone, and all we ask is that you use the camera function (which is linked to the relevant ticket checking software) to check tickets as fans arrive – it is that easy!

You would be required from 13.30 to 15.15 on Saturdays and 18.15 to 20.00 for mid-week games when we play at home.

The bonus is that if you wish to stay and enjoy the game when your turnstile closes, you get free entry - or if you prefer to go home that is fine too.

The role of a reading helper places you in the heart of primary school life. You’ll be leading
reading sessions that bring a positive reading experience to children outside of the classroom.

Children will benefit from someone giving them one-to-one attention, showing them how much
fun reading can be and the purpose reading has in their lives.

You will build a positive learning relationship with individual children aged 4-11, maintaining a
regular weekly commitment. This consistency will build confidence, improve their engagement
with reading and allow their reading skills to rocket!

How it works
You will need to:
- Attend school weekly in the afternoon session(s) during which you’ll see the same children
each week
- Independently lead your sessions; you’ll have access to our brilliant books, online portal and
will quickly get into the swing of what works well for each child
- Liaise with school staff and our team as required

No Panic provides online and telephone support for all those whose lives are affected by anxiety disorders. 

We are looking for caring, sympathetic and understanding individuals to volunteer on our helpline.

You will be required to go through our training which is an hour a week for 8 weeks and commit to a 3 hr shift each week.

We provide a lot of ongoing support for our volunteers and there is the opportunity to progress to mentoring.

This vacancy is ideal for anyone, particularly   those who have experienced anxiety and want to give back to the community and those who have a bit of extra time to dedicate to the cause.
