    Volunteer Reading Helper with Children

    Assisted Reading for Children Oxfordshire (ARCh)

    This opportunity takes place between 07 Sep 2022 and 01 Jul 2023

    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.

    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.

    This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

    We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to spend one hour each week helping disadvantaged schoolchildren.

    In partnership with local schools in Oxford we target Year 6 pupils who are most at risk of falling behind in the core skills of Maths and English. By providing one-on-one tuition we aim to help pupils improve before they move on to secondary school. We tend to work with the same pupils for a whole term so that we can really see them progress.

    We aim to build a sense of community among our tutors by holding social events and offering advice and support. For those keen to help the charity in a different capacity there are also lots of opportunities to join our committee.
