The Coordinator is the first point of contact for those who want to learn to read. Using a simple assessment, the Coordinator will explain to a potential new ‘Reader’ how Read Easy may be able to help them.

The role provides lots of variety, is home-based and can work well around other commitments. The role will take an average of 2 hours per week of your time.
A passion for supporting others achieve either their reading or coaching goals;
A willingness to become familiar with the methods of the phonics based Turning Pages coaching manuals, so that you can confidently guide others;
Good communication and people skills, with a commitment to maintaining confidentiality. Strong organisational, time management and record keeping skills;
Reasonable confidence in using IT.
