About this Role

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.

This application is for volunteer positions for pupils in school (16-18), or students requiring a work placement as part of a course of study.
