Volunteer Teacher / Teaching Assistant needed to deliver nutrition and lifestyle-based interventions to children in Manchester!

What will you be doing?

Following a successful first pilot in a school on the South Coast of England, we are now partnering with another charity based in the Manchester area who share our passion for improving the health and wellbeing of children through nutrition and physical activity.  In arguably one of the most important voluntary roles within the Collaboration for Kids (CFK) project, you will be responsible for delivering our fun and interactive nutrition-based intervention to a group of Primary School children (8-10 year olds) and their families.  Working in a small, supportive and friendly team, you will delivery bi-weekly face to face sessions in a 'family afterschool club' starting at the beginning of the Autumn Term (September 2024). You will also play a key role in building relationships with the children and families and may be asked to assist in the collection of baseline and post intervention data, providing feedback and learnings to assist in continuous improvement and innovation.   To be successful in this role you will:  - Have experience and/or the confidence to deliver educational sessions / resources / programmes to Primary School aged children (fully training on our intervention will be provided) - The ability to build rapport, engage and inspire children in this age group  - Have a genuine and visible passion for nutrition and changing the eating behaviours of children to improve physical activity and sports performance  - Be organised and structured in your approach and delivery style, ensuring CFK materials and key messages are consistently delivered - Have strong interpersonal and communication skills (both visual and verbal) and fluency in English    

What are we looking for?

In this ‘intervention delivery role’ you will be confident in delivering educational programmes / sessions to children AND a real passion for nutrition and changing the eating behaviours of our young people. As the role involves delivering face to face workshops/session in Salford (Manchester), YOU MUST either live locally or be willing and able to travel to Eccles on a bi-weekly basis from the beginning of the Autumn Term (September 2024)  

What difference will you make?

The impact you will have in this role is huge and extremely important. You'll be 'on the ground' working closely with educators, parents/carers and children to co-create interventions to change the eating habits of our children and future generations!
