Are you interested in empowering prisoners to make positive changes to their lives?
Do you want to volunteer from home at a time to suit you?
Can you spare 3 hours a week?
Can you commit for a minimum of 12 months? (including full training and apprenticing)
If the answer to the above questions is YES then come and join our team of volunteer tutors.
Criminon UK is a national charity that has been providing distance-learning courses for prisoners and ex-offenders for over 23 years. Four of our courses in literacy and learning, practical morals and drug awareness are accredited through Laser Learning Awards, an Ofqual approved organisation affiliated with the University of Kent.
Our courses are based upon the non-religious works of L Ron Hubbard who was also the founder of Scientology. However we are a secular charity that is independently financed and managed and we welcome anyone interested in tutoring, irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, religious or non-religious belief etc.
Whilst previous tutoring experience will be advantageous, no experience is necessary as full training will be given.
Skills
• Good written communication skills
• Patient and caring attitude as many offenders have learning difficulties
• Well organised and persistent
