  • Assisted Reading for Children Oxfordshire (ARCh) logo

    Volunteer Reading Helper with Children

    Assisted Reading for Children Oxfordshire (ARCh)

    This opportunity takes place between 07 Sep 2022 and 01 Jul 2030

    After successfully completing our application, vetting (including enhanced DBS) and training, ARCh Reading Helpers are assigned to a local primary school and allocated 3 children to work with. They visit school twice a week, usually early afternoon, and spend 30 minutes 1:1 with each child, sharing fun with books. games and lively conversation. All resources and ongoing support and training are provided by ARCh. Volunteers continue to work with the same 3 children for the entire year (term time only), building supportive mentoring relationships with the children so that, by the end of their time together, children previously reluctant or lacking in confidence are not only switched on to reading, but display improved self-esteem, communication and social skills. There is huge need for ARCh support for children following the disruptions to schooling and social lives caused by the pandemic. The charity provides a very rewarding experience for volunteers - giving children the key life skill of reading for purpose and pleasure is life-enhancing for them and for the children they support.

    No particular qualifications are needed to volunteer with ARCh, just a love of reading to impart and good communication skills.

    The charity provides comprehensive training - covering how the charity works, the many reasons children may be struggling with reading,how to be an effective volunteer,  the process of learning to read, the importance of games, and safeguarding.

    Volunteers are allocated to a designated staff member (field worker) within the ARCh team who introdces them to their school, acts as liaison, and supports them throughout their volunteering.

    We can offer placements in primary schools throughout Oxford (and countywide if required)

    Volunteers benefit in many ways - it is life enhancing to volunteer, to become involved in the local communoity and to help disadvanatged children. The fun "happy reading" sessions with the chidlren can provide welcome relief from the stresses of life and study so benefitting well-being. 

    For those looking to work with children after studies finish volunteering with ARCh provides useful experience and we are happy to provide references at the end of the year's commitment.

  • St. John Ambulance logo

    Event First Aider

    St. John Ambulance

    This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

    St John Ambulance - New volunteers welcome. Learn how to do first aid (and get a chance to put it into practice). Provide event first aid cover at numerous events locally and nationally. Be there for when someone is in need.

    We would absolutely love to have you volunteer with St John Ambulance if you are still interested to do so. In summary, sign up here.

     

    To explain a bit further, you apply on a national website. They will then review your application, and then may well invite you to the interview. Here they will discuss with you why you want to volunteer with St John Ambulance, checking that you are interested in the volunteering side of St John (and are not just doing it for a free first aid course). Then, you will become a member, and you will be able to attend our weekly training sessions. You will then get the chance to do a formal first aid course (which takes about 2 weekends) which will give you all the first aid skills you need to be at events. You will then get the chance to volunteer both at local events (e.g. football matches, possibly college Commemeration Balls) and national events (e.g. London Marathon). You will be looked after well at the events with more senior first aiders around, easing your transition from theory to practice. It is amazing fun. If there are any questions, don't hesitate to email me.

    Volunteer Tutor (maths or English)

    Action Tutoring

    This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

    As an English or maths tutor, you will choose one of our partner schools and work with one or two pupils for an hour a week across the course of a school term. Sessions are either delivered on the school premises or online, at the same time each week. We provide all of our tutors with training and workbooks to use in sessions, and we will also process a DBS check for you.

    Volunteering with Action Tutoring is a rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of young people living in your community. You will be directly supporting disadvantaged young people to build their confidence and help ensure they leave school with the grades needed to build a bright future. 

    Online tutoring is a great option for anyone on a busy schedule, less able to get to school locations or continuing to keep their distance from groups of people. Online tutoring also allows us to expand and recruit tutors from outside of our regions. 

    You need to be a fluent English speaker, and have achieved an A or B at A-Level (or equivalent) in the subject, or similar subject, you are wishing to tutor. Enthusiasm for learning and the subject you’re tutoring is important. Experience working with young people is helpful but not essential. Good communication skills, patient, committed and resilient. We do review all qualifications and experience however and would encourage you to apply - even if you don't meet the exact criteria.

    Through tutoring with us our volunteers are able to develop a wealth of transferable skills whilst making a significant difference.

  • Cyber Champions logo

    Cyber Champions Volunteer

    Cyber Champions

    This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

    Cyber Champions is an established and exciting not-for-profit organisation that delivers digital literacy and cyber safety workshops to school pupils. Despite our interactions with the digital world being ingrained into everyday life, cyber safety messages are not a routine part of school curriculums, so it is vital that school pupils are upskilled on these key messages to remain safe online.What does volunteering involve?•The Cyber Champions project involves University students (‘Cyber Champions’) presenting 1-hour workshops to school children on cyber safety once or twice a term.•Volunteers will have a training session to introduce them to the workshop script and will also be provided with top tips for facilitating the workshop sessions. •Volunteers do not require a DBS check, but they must always deliver the workshops with a teacher present and always with at least one other volunteer.•Due to the level of support provided to volunteers and the baseline level of messaging, no knowledge of IT or Cyber is required, only an interest in keeping children safe online!Volunteer Benefits:• Volunteers often learn something new themselves when learning the Cyber Champions script, increasing their knowledge of digital skills, which will be beneficial both personally and professionally.• Cyber Champions develop key skills during the project such as organisational, communication and interpersonal skills. Many prospective employers also look for presentation skills and the Cyber Champions project allows volunteers to develop presentation techniques and confidence. • The project is a good opportunity to meet people from different courses and year groups and there may be an opportunity to present workshops with graduates in industry and build up a professional network. • Volunteers can help to make a positive difference to the ways school children approach being digitally smart whilst being associated with a national not-for-profit organisation.• It is a rewarding and really fun experience!
