Volunteer Role Descriptions
Salusbury World relies on our extended family of over 100 volunteers to support and empower refugee children and young people in Brent. Volunteers help run our after-school, homework and holiday clubs, mentor young refugees and help them overcome barriers and realise their right to education. All volunteers are given appropriate training and supervision.
Salusbury World reimburses all reasonable travel and subsistence expenses.
Educational Mentor
Mentors assist mentees with their schoolwork and related skills (e.g. literacy, numeracy and research). Many also offer advice and practical help around careers and accessing further and higher education.
After School Club Helper
Volunteers help at our busy after school club for children aged 4-11. Volunteers prepare arts and crafts for the students and supervise activities. They are also needed to prepare drinks and snacks and tidy up at the end of the session.
Holiday Club Volunteer
Holiday club takes children all over London to participate in a wide range of activities, including kayaking, archery, ice skating and horse racing. Clubs are extremely popular and are run with the help of volunteers.
Homework Club Helper
For the last 2 years, the Salusbury World team have been successfully recruiting and training volunteers to support Primary School children with their homework. The project was born out of the understanding that this group of young people face significantly more barriers to learning.
ESOL Teacher
The volunteer tutors at Salusbury World provide English language lessons to migrant or refugee adults who are learning English language skills that are necessary for living in the UK. Tutors will prepare lesson plans and create appropriate materials to meet the students’ speaking, listening, reading and writing needs.
Work and Education Volunteer
The advice and advocacy project at Salusbury World provides advice for migrant and refugee families on housing, benefits, health, immigration, community care, employment and family matters. Volunteers will help migrant and refugee families on CV- writing, help research job and educational opportunities.
ESOL Support Volunteer
Salusbury World provides classes for newly-arrived refugee and migrant adults to learn English language skills. Our qualified teacher prepares lesson plans and creates appropriate materials to meet the students’ speaking, listening, reading and writing needs. Our volunteers support the teacher and provide support to an individual or small groups of students during the lesson.
