We welcome our volunteers at an On-Arrival Camp during which they receive various forms of training to prepare them for their placements and life in the UK. Improving their English language skills is an essential aspect of this training, so we are now looking for 5 English teachers to deliver lessons at the camp.

This group will be divided into smaller groups for the language classes to allow for different levels of pre-existing ability.

Where needed, teachers may also be required to provide input on grammar, vocabulary, etc. A range of teaching books and materials are available.
