Safeguarding Officer:
The safeguarding officer will work closely with our training officers to ensure the suitability of our teachers. You will be responsible for provdiding safeguarding training to our volunteer teachers. These teaches have already been made by previous committee members but will require you to adapt them into your own teaching style. It is vital that our volunteers feel safe whilst going into schools.

Training Officer x2:
The training officers will themselves, alongside the rest of the committee, be given training on how to prepare the volunteers to deliver teaches.  Their primary role will be to teach new volunteers (and in future years, run refreshers sessions) about the content of the teaches and how to deliver them. This is a great role for those who are interested in teaching and education. We would expect the training officers to provide regular training sessions for the first few months of the year, or to offer training sessions to new recruits – You can run this however you see fit, either online or in person. It is vital that every volunteer has this training before going into schools.  The training officer role would be suitable to someone who is a keen educator, who is flexible and happy to take on a slightly larger role in the committee.
