Ahipara/Kaitaia Face to Face Literacy Coach

We have found that the learners intend to practice their reading and writing - but do not. So, as a Literacy Coach, you will help our adult learner practice reading, writing, and spelling weekly, generally for an half hour to an hour either once or twice a week.

We provide the all the training required to be able to coach students and create a personalised learning plan. You work together with our student coach coordinator to develop goals and select materials and activities to help learners reach their goals. We also have coach mentors to help guide and support you with your training and coaching when required.

This role is very important, and by doing it, you can change an adult or teenager learners' lives and that of their family. You will be helping a student who can't access a main Literacy centre and help them to better their lives.

Requirements

Note: Applicants must be at least 16 years old to apply.

Excellent spoken English, reading and writing skills. Reliable and patient with a friendly personality to put people at ease.

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment

Lesson availability to be negotiated between coach and student but usually between 1-3 times a week, 30 mins per lesson.

This volunteer role offers flexibility but is more suited to a long term commitment and therefore not suitable for people who are looking for employment. However, we do have various short term roles available.
