Job Opportunity: ESOL Project Coordinator

SASS is looking for an enthusiastic person with skills in ESOL (English as a Second/Other Language) and in project coordinating, to join our team. We are a small charity that provides Welcome, Welfare, Wellbeing and Empowerment to asylum seekers and refugees through various activities, with few staff and lots of volunteers. Many SASS volunteers, including ESOL teachers, are asylum seekers and refugees themselves.

The job is 2.5 days/week, with regular Friday early evening and Saturday working.

For further details, see the Job Description. We have set out our expectations for the essential skills and experience we would like the ESOL Project Coordinator to have, but we are keen to hear from all sections of the community. If you don’t quite meet all of our requirements but have other skills and experience relevant to the role, we would still love to hear from you.

If you’ve never visited a SASS drop-in, then we encourage you to come along to see the ESOL project in action and meet teachers and learners, and some of the Trustees. You don’t need an appointment. Feel free to contact Chair of Trustees, Sandra Morton: 07400 605669 with any queries.

SASS is simultaneously advertising a 2.5 day post of Activities Coordinator. Candidates are welcome to apply for both roles. Please make two separate applications.
