WSRHT Learning Assistant Advertisement
The Heritage Trust is a registered charity and the principal provider of education, learning and community outreach activities and resources on the West Somerset Railway.
We have just agreed our programme for the 2025 season which includes engagement with the national Rail 200 celebrations. There will be a number of exciting and innovative events providing opportunities for primary schools, community groups and families with young children to learn more about the history, heritage and social context of the West Somerset Railway.
We are looking for new volunteers to join our Education and Learning Team as Learning Assistants to help us deliver the programme. Led by Helen Anson, our Education and Learning Officer, the team is looking for people who:
- Are comfortable and interested in working with children and groups;
- Have good communication and interpersonal skills;
- Can adapt facilitation and engagement styles according to the needs of different sessions and topics;
- Are team oriented.
Our Learning Assistants need to hold or obtain a DBS certificate [funded by the Trust] on taking up their role.
