Community Education delivers free educational workshops to groups of young people and adults across the UK to help increase community resilience. We are looking for individuals who: - Ideally, able to contribute a minimum of 8 hours per month, and having flexibility with their availability would also be advantageous (workshops usually run on weekdays between 9am and 5pm, with occasional opportunities in the evenings or at weekends). - Ideally, can do this for role for at least 12 months. - Willing to undertake all the required training for the role. - Willing to travel to workshop venues in your community independently. Ideally you will need your own vehicle and laptop/computer. *Due to the nature of this role, applicants must undergo a PVG (Children) check.* **Health and Safety Statement** We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and will also have a conversation with you to discuss and identify any adjustments you may need. **Diversity** Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone. If you have any questions before applying, please contact us at [volunteerrecruitment@redcross.org.uk](url)
