Rathbone Society • Volunteer positions (can be useful in health and social care to gain experience) • London • 9m ago

Hours of work: as agreed (minimum 1 hour a week)

Rathbone’s Inspiring Learning project helps young people aged 11-19 from disadvantaged backgrounds – those on free school meals. The project runs Mondays to Fridays from 4:30 -8pm.

Rathbone’s vision is for our young people to be supported with their education so they can realise their potential. With the help of committed Volunteer Learning Mentors providing homework/revision support and acting as role models, we aim to bridge the aspirations-attainment gap. Linking young people with inspirational Learning Mentors boosts the young people’s confidence, educational attainment, self-efficacy and long-term employability.

To enhance the young person’s confidence and self-esteem, and to encourage high (but realistic) expectations and aspirations;
To work sensitively and appropriately with the young person, being aware of cultural difference, personal boundaries and the power dynamics at work in all mentoring relationships;
If the young person is preparing for GCSEs, to provide subject-specific support and assistance with revision and preparation for exams;
To promote the young person’s understanding and use of English (if needed);
To undertake induction required for this role
After initial introductions, to take responsibility for arranging weekly sessions directly with the project worker, and letting them know if you are unwell or unable to attend;
To report any concerns which might arise straight away to the project worker;
To be committed to our project’s policies on Equal Opportunities, Health & Safety and Confidentiality (copies provided at induction), and to promote Equal Opportunities whenever possible.
