Volunteer Community Threads Assistant

Tuesdays (Term-time only), between 11:30am-2:00pm (including set-up/down and team briefing/debrief)

Community Threads is a sewing club for the families that we support in our Refugee & Migrant Services Department, which runs on Tuesday mornings, 10am-12.30pm, in term time. Many of these families have history of making their own clothes, or altering them, and this club serves to provide an opportunity to develop sewing skills, at the same time as language skills, and building genuine community.

The Community Threads Volunteer will help the ESOL tutor with the following:

• Assist the ESOL Tutor to demonstrate sewing skills by hand and on a sewing machine.
• Assist the club members with their sewing projects.
• Working with and reporting back to the ESOL Tutors and ESOL Team Leader on learner progress and any feedback.
• Assist in setting up and setting down the classroom before and after each session.
