Description

A Coram Beanstalk reading helper is a volunteer who is trained and supported to help children develop their reading confidence and ability. 

Becoming a reading helper allows you to directly help children in your local community and share your skills and love of reading with the younger  generation. It can also help to improve your own wellbeing and gain experience in working in a school environment.

The children we support come from a wide range of backgrounds… and so do our volunteers. You don’t need any previous experience so if you think you’d enjoy being a reading helper and are fluent in spoken and written English, please get in touch.

Duties

You’ll work with children on a one-to-one basis, giving them consistent support to practise reading skills and increase confidence and self-esteem.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working to keep you safe and supported whilst you volunteer.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
