Summary
The volunteer will lead the weekly Wednesday morning Creative Kids sessions for pre-school children and their parents/carers at Great Yarmouth Library.Detailed description
Creative kids is a weekly session for parents/carers and pre-school children. The session aims are to encourage parents/carers and their children to hear a story followed by a craft activity related to the story. The sessions also provide a safe space for parents to ask questions about anything they have concerns about, find information and meet other parents. The session then utilises the remaining time for 'Stay and Play' allowing the adults to have a period of social engagement.
The roles includes:
- Choosing stories and activities for the craft session in advance
- Attending at a regular time on a Wednesday morning
- Setting up the session and clearing away at the end
- Reading stories to children and toddlers who are visiting the library with their carers
- Talking to adults attending the session to encourage them to choose books with their children and to encourage social chat amongst them at the end of the session.
Some previous experience of working in a paid or voluntary capacity with young children and their families is desirable for this role. You will also need to undergo a DBS (criminal records) check, which the library funds, and the library will also provide safeguarding training as part of their induction training.
