Job description

Summary of role

We are looking for teachers with a recognised ESOL qualification to support clients on a 1:1 basis with speaking, reading and writing English for an hour or so each week.

How does this role make a difference?

This support provided by volunteers to our clients really helps them progress with their English. Often clients do not have opportunities to learn English outside of the classroom or interact with a British-born person, so this opportunity is invaluable to them. Improving our clients English also enables individuals to access our other services such as, the employment team and digital inclusion, which will in turn, improve their employment prospects and assist in integration in their local community.

Who will you be helping?

Our clients are refugees, migrants and asylum seekers who are unable to afford or access English classes at colleges. We have many clients at the Centre who need one-to-one support with their English, mostly around listening and speaking, fluency and confidence building. We can also offer additional sessions to clients who are accessing external ESOL classes who feel they need additional 1:1 support.

What will you be doing?

We would like you to meet a client for 1 – 2 hours each week, this can be at the Centre or in a public place such as a café or library or where possible on-line. You will provide them with individual support with their English.  

Your responsibilities:

  • Be able to commit at least one hour a week to your client for up to six months.
  • Create an agreed Individual Learning Plan.
  • Meet with your client at an agreed time and place.
  • Be able to encourage and motivate your client.
  • Be able to plan an hour’s English session based on the client’s ability and need.
  • Send a short progress report to the Learning & Employment Manager after every meeting with your client.
  • Participate in the Centre induction and safeguarding training.
  • Attend quarterly group meetings, at the Centre, with other English Learning Volunteers at an agreed time.

What are we looking for?

  • You have a recognised ESOL qualification e.g. CELTA or a Trinity or Cambridge Certificate
  • You have excellent listening and clear communication skills.
  • You are able to encourage and motivate a person.
  • You are friendly, patient and reliable.
  • You will have the ability to get on with people from a wide range of backgrounds
