  • Volunteers are recruited through one combined process, with placements available in schools across Coventry, Canley and Leamington, as well as at the on-campus nursery. School Volunteers work alongside class teachers and school staff in primary schools, providing classroom and reading support. Nursery Volunteers spend time with children aged 4 months to 4 years at the on-campus nursery, supporting their development through activities such as painting, outdoor play and reading stories. Volunteering is a rewarding opportunity to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people in your community. Through this project, you will support children’s learning, development and wellbeing, helping them to build confidence and reach their potential. Alongside making a meaningful contribution, you will develop valuable transferable skills, gain practical experience and enhance your communication and interpersonal skills. These experiences can support your future career aspirations, whether you are considering a career in teaching, working with children, or pursuing a different professional path.
