With its free, flexible, confidential approach, Read Easy encourages many people who are too embarrassed to join a class to come forward for one-to-one support. Each new reader is provided with their own personal Reading Coach, so that they can learn in private and at their own pace. Learning to read transforms their lives in many other ways as well, including enabling them to support their children’s and grandchildren’s reading, and so transfers the benefits to the next generation.
There are currently 76 affiliated Read Easy groups across England, together involving more than a thousand volunteers. Read Easy UK is the registered charity and umbrella organisation, based in north Gloucestershire, which supports this network of volunteer groups.
As our South West Regional Adviser, you would be providing high quality support to our 14 volunteer groups across Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Avon, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.

From meeting with Team Leaders to provide one to one support to delivering refresher training for small groups of volunteers this is a dynamic and rewarding role.
You will need to have experience of working with volunteers; strong people management and interpersonal skills; excellent communication skills; and the confidence to run meetings and deliver presentations.
This is a part-time role for 15 hours per week. Please note that this role is home-based, requires flexibility and involves regular travel within the region and occasional evening and weekend working. The successful candidate will have been employed to work with volunteers for at least two years.
