Redditch Library
Description of the role
We are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to work with young people aged 10-18 to develop their confidence in writing fiction, non-fiction and poetry. This will be for a monthly workshop. The volunteer will be provided with some materials but would be expected to develop their own writing exercises and have the knowledge and relevant experience to encourage young people on their writing journey. Teaching experience or publishing experience would be fantastic, but not essential.
We are looking for someone with a love of writing and a talent for developing young people. The opportunity is in Redditch Library and would likely be on a weekday afternoon/evening between the hours of 4-7, likely only for 2 hours. This position may be subject to a CRB check.
