Adult Literacy and Numeracy support. We deliver lots of different projects throughout the area (volunteers need to contact us to see what is on offer at that time), and the adults that we are working with quite often require help with reading and writing skills. The support is usually done in a learner centred approach e.g. if they were applying for a job we would help them with this or if they were applying to go to College or they maybe want to help their children with their maths homework. It can vary from project to project and week to week.
Wider Achievement is delivered in primary schools, a one hour workshop with children and should be something that they don’t learn in school. 4wk blocks term time. Dates can be provided. Some examples are : if the adult has a particular skills that they think children would like to learn e.g decoupage/baking/architectural drawings/an unusual sport/computer skill etc.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) in Clackmannanshire, Stirling and Falkirk provides opportunities to older people or those in or approaching retirement to volunteer in a primary or secondary school to support pupils with reading or writing, numbers, arts and crafts, music or other activities depending on the schools requirements.
We are also looking for Volunteer Organisers to help grow the network of schools our volunteers work in, as well as being involved in the recruitment and training of new volunteers.
School Volunteers are not teachers, however, the individual attention they can give to a child helps develop essential skills, as well as fostering children’s overall wellbeing and confidence.
Volunteers usually go into school for one session a week. They give one-to-one help to children selected by the teachers to benefit from it. Volunteers liaise closely with teachers to complement the work in the classroom.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) is looking for 2 x School Volunteer Organisers for the Stirling and Clackmannanshire areas. Our volunteering in schools project is firmly established in local primary schools and at present has over 30 volunteers helping in a dozen primary schools. The present organiser is ‘retiring ‘ after over 15 years in the post and would be available to help a new organiser taking up the role.
As project organiser you would be responsible for:-
1] meeting with prospective volunteers, registering them as members of RSVP and ensuring they have a PVG (Protection of Vulnerable Groups] certificate, the cost of which is paid by the local authority.
2] liaising with schools to place volunteers.
3] keeping an up-to-date spreadsheet of volunteers which is shared with RSVP/VM office and Stirling/Clackmannanshire Education Department.
4] keeping in contact with all volunteers by occasional telephone calls, e-mails, coffee mornings or newsletters.
5] providing on-going support for volunteers when and if required.
We are looking for a person who:-
1] has good communication, organisational and people skills.
2] is able to work independently.
NB No teaching experience is required for this post.
