We are now inviting volunteer applications for this academic year and warmly welcome anyone to apply to join us as a volunteer within the Auriga schools - Clarendon, Capella or Strathmore.
Volunteers in education settings help to improve the learning experience, and often have an impact even after they have left. They aren't accountable for the outcomes of the children they work with in the same way that teachers are, meaning that their roles can offer a way to work in education without the pressure of a permanent job.
Volunteers might be parents, college or university students, or other adults in the local area — you don't need any experience working with children in order to become one.
If you feel you can contribute to our continuing success, we would be pleased to hear from you. The Trust is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from under-represented groups within the community.
