Conversation and Centre Volunteer

Do you want to help refugees improve their English?

Our Conversation and Centre volunteers will be responsible for helping the Aspire Education team with centre management of Caritas Aspire English classes during our evening sessions at our Cornerstone Centre, whilst helping the learners develop their English abilities through informal conversation.

The role will include classroom set-up; door management – including welcoming learners, dealing with queries from non-learners and ensuring that the door is supervised at all times; helping new learners with enrolment forms and registrations forms.

It will also be an opportunity to help the learners develop their conversational English through informal conversations. If you are a native speaker (or native-level speaker) of English who is willing to talk and listen to refugees then this role is for you!
