Reading Helper (Primary School)

Start Date: 10/10/2025

Reading Helper (Primary School)

Reading Helper's are adult volunteers living or working within a 5 mile radius of a school that has asked for our help. You need to commit to at least an afternoon a week for a whole year during term-time, and as we invest in your training we'd appreciate it if you could stay longer.

The role isn't about listening to children read, but creating a relaxed session that allows children to work alongside you to discover the joy of books.

We can reimburse mileage up to 5 miles. We provide full training, ongoing learning & development opportunities, ongoing support and access to a volunteer portal with resources and community.
