Read Easy Telford and Shropshire East is affiliated to Read Easy UK, a national charity that helps adults learn to read and which has nearly 60 groups across England.

Read Easy Telford & Wrekin was established in 2019 and continues to grow to be a highly impactful local group with an increasing number of Reading Pairs (Reading Coach and Reader).

It is run by a hard-working, dedicated group of team members, all of whom are also volunteers.
The group is now seeking a new Volunteer Coordinator.

The Coordinator is central to the running of each Read Easy group as the first point of contact for adults wanting to learn to read. 

Role:

To support readers from the first time they contact the group, through to their pairing with a coach and on until they complete the Turning Pages scheme.

To also support coaches from their initial application and interview to pairing and coaching sessions.

What do you need to have?

Our event crew play an essential part in making sure our events and activities run smoothly and that all participants and supporters have fantastic experiences.

You can get stuck in setting up and stewarding events like the iconic Dragon Boat Festival, dramatic Fire and Ice Challenge and the poignant Lights of Love service – all of which help us generate vital funds to support our care services.

There are so many exciting opportunities to get involved from welcoming and registering participants, car parking, marshalling a route to handing out medals or running a merchandise stall.

It’s also a brilliant way to volunteer on an ad-hoc basis and can fit around busy lives.
