Read Easy Wythenshawe is part of the national charity Read Easy and exists to help local adults who can’t read or find reading a challenge to read, through one-to-one coaching by trained coaches. It takes readers from Wythenshawe and the surrounding areas of South Manchester.
Read Easy UK is increasingly finding that computer or technical issues are having to be fielded at Head Office, so we are now on the look-out for a volunteer to offer IT skills to support reading coaches and the management team. Even the smallest things like setting up email accounts and accessing the Read Easy SharePoint site can be a real challenge for some volunteers, so your expertise will make the world of difference to helping adults learn to read in your community.
There is the potential for much of this support to be delivered remotely with the use of screen sharing and remote operation applications such as Team Viewer, which is free and very easy to use.
Additionally, there is a need to support the Management Team with their administration in tasks such as following up volunteer references, organising coach training and keeping track of books and tablets.
Tasks and duties will include:
ICT Support:
Group Administration:
