Read Easy provides free, confidential, one to-one reading coaching for adults who struggle with reading, through a network of volunteer groups. Read Easy groups are changing the lives of individual adults across the country by providing them with the support they need to learn to
read, and in turn opening doors for them to all sorts of new opportunities in life.
The Coordinator Supporter is the main point of contact on the Management Team for Coordinators. They play a crucial role in ensuring that the Coordinators feel well supported, so that they in turn can support Readers and Coaches. Your Coordinators help interview Reading Coaches, assess and enrol Readers before pairing them with trained coaches; then offer ongoing support to these Reading Pairs, visiting their reading sessions
occasionally and maintaining support through regular calls with both Reader and Coach to check all is going well. Coordinators work in
close collaboration with the group’s Literacy Specialists to respond to any literacy related needs a pair may be having. They also work in collaboration to run regular Coach meetings.
What you will be doing:
- Holding regular Coordinator meetings where current issues are discussed together
- Supporting your Coordinators with all matters relating to their roles, to ensure that they have all the help they need
- Facilitating collaboration between the Coordinators and your group’s Literacy
- Specialists to ensure the best support for Coaches and best outcomes for Readers
- Collating your group’s Coordinators’ report ready for each Management Team meeting
- Attending and inviting Coordinators to attend Management Team meetings (typically every 6-8 weeks)
- Supporting the Volunteer Recruiter with the recruitment of further Coordinators
- Leading on the induction of new Coordinators
What skills do I need?
- An understanding of what motivates others and how to run meetings for a small team.
- Good communication and people skills, with a commitment to maintaining confidentiality.
- Reasonable confidence in using IT and an ability to produce management information
- The ability to use initiative and work independently.
- A willingness to abide by Read Easy policies and procedures.
- An open attitude that encourages two-way communication and willingness to ask for and offer support to the Team.
- A non-judgemental attitude and respect for others, with a commitment to equality and diversity, so that you can make everyone feel valued and included.
- Energy and enthusiasm with an average of four hours a week to commit to the role.
