My Support Day is a charity based in South Lanarkshire that supports families affected by substance use. The Homework Club is a new project with the purpose of supporting such children and young children achieve more and grow in confidence with one-on-one and small group learning support. The Homework Club session will be followed by a whole family activity.
The volunteer role is to support the children and young people with their learning, help to set up and put away before and after the club, and utilise your own skills and interests to help plan and run the activities. The atmosphere is very relaxed and informal, but reliability and enthusiasm are key to this role.
The club will run every Thursday from 4-6:30pm in the Beacons in Blantyre so we are looking for people who can commit to 1.5-2.5 hours every week or fortnight.
There will be lots of opportunities to work with partner organisations and access relevant training. This would be especially suited to someone with an interest in teaching, youth work, community/social work or a career in the third sector. A full induction will be provided when you start your role, and ongoing support including one-on-one meetings will be available to you.
For any additional information or for help filling out the application form please get in touch via email or on the phone. Informal in-person chats and taster sessions can also be arranged.
Please note we will soon be launching three more Homework Clubs across South Lanarkshire on different days so if this specific role doesn’t fit with your schedule please get in touch or keep an eye out on the My Support Day website/Twitter/Facebook/VASLAN when the details of the other clubs go up.
