About Us
Meridian Wellbeing is an independent charity working to improve the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of individuals and communities in Barnet. As part of our ongoing support for Hongkongers who have settled in the UK via the BN(O) visa route, we are launching informal, volunteer-led online English sessions to help participants build confidence in using English in everyday life.
We know that many newcomers from Hong Kong face challenges accessing traditional ESOL courses due to long working hours, family commitments, or limited local services. Our project offers an alternative: flexible, accessible, and welcoming English learning spaces run by volunteers.
We are currently recruiting for two volunteer roles:
1. Volunteer ESOL Teacher (Online)
We are looking for a volunteer with a recognised English teaching qualification to lead weekly online ESOL classes (entry level). Sessions are informal but structured, with a focus on everyday communication skills.
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver weekly English classes online (2–2.5 hours per session)
- Prepare simple, tailored lesson plans and resources
- Encourage participation in a safe, inclusive environment
- Collaborate with the team and help monitor engagement
Requirements:
- ESOL/TEFL/CELTA/TESOL qualification (required)
- Experience working with English learners (desirable)
- Confident using Zoom or similar platforms (training provided as required)
- Experience managing group sessions/classes
- Friendly, patient and culturally aware
- Fluent or highly proficient in spoken English (native-level fluency preferred)
- Available for lunchtime sessions, with potential flexibility for evening or weekend sessions in future.
2. Volunteer Conversation Café Facilitator (Online)
We’re also seeking facilitators to host informal group sessions where Hongkongers can practise English through conversation. No teaching qualifications are needed — just a warm personality and willingness to support others.
Key Responsibilities:
- Host or co-host weekly conversation sessions online (2–2.5 hours)
- Use topics or prompts to encourage group discussion
- Help create a welcoming, supportive environment
- Respect and support participants with different English levels
Requirements:
- Fluent or highly proficient in spoken English (native-level fluency preferred)
- Friendly and confident leading small groups
- Able to use Zoom (training provided as required)
- Available for lunchtime sessions, with potential flexibility for evening or weekend sessions in future.
What You’ll Gain:
- Make a real difference in people’s lives
- Develop skills in teaching and group facilitation
- Be part of a supportive and inclusive team
- Receive basic training and ongoing guidance
Note: All volunteers will need to complete a DBS check. Cantonese language skills are not required.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
