About this role
The role of a reading helper places you in the heart of school life.
You’ll be leading reading sessions that bring a positive reading experience to children outside of the classroom. Children will benefit from someone giving them one-to-one attention, showing them how much fun reading can be and the purpose reading has in their lives. You will build a positive learning relationship with children, maintaining a regular weekly commitment. This consistency will build confidence, improve their connection with reading and allow their reading skills to rocket!

What do we need from you?
• Commitment - The children we support need consistency. Although the occasional
holiday is fine and you’ll sometimes miss the odd session, we do need your reading
helper role to become a priority in your week.
• Follow the Beanstalk approach – we need you to engage with our learning and
development offer to ensure your sessions remain on track.
• Follow our safeguarding code of conduct – we need to keep the children and you
safe. Our code of conduct is there to help do this and must be followed at all times
• To thrive in the role you will need patience, flexibility, creativity and a sense of
humour. Plus, the ability to think on your feet – children can throw you a curve ball!
It’s important to recognise that you will become the face of Coram Beanstalk, representing
us in one of our partner schools. We need you to be professional in both manner and
appearance and to follow the guidance we give to you through your initial training journey.
