At South Molton Library we are seeking an adult volunteer to assist staff with a monthly children's group.
The club runs for one hour from 4pm until 5pm on the thrid Friday of each month (this date may change during summer school holidays). The age range is approximately 8 to 13 years old and some of the children who attend may have additional needs (hearing aids, ADHD, etc). About eight children on average usually attend the club, sometimes with parents or caregivers staying.
The candidate would ideally have experience with children in some capacity, and be friendly, approachable, encouraging and able to show initiative. No other experience outside of this is necessary, but general knowledge of how to use laptops would be helpful.
The volunteer must be calm and able to steer children back to the task if they drift too far off course, and keep an eye out for children who might be silently struggling but afraid to ask for help.
For an informal chat with Emma before applying, please call 01769 572128.
