About the Role:

We are looking for skilled English Language Facilitators with experience of supporting those with English as a second language.

You will use the collections and handling objects available at the Shipley Art Gallery as inspiration to start conversations. You will be supported to explore these and develop your sessions to inspire you and the participants in informal conversation.

We are keen for this opportunity to develop and be led by those involved in the sessions, taking their lead when inspired and wishing to explore a topic further. You will be supported by Museum staff in this process.

It is hoped that this opportunity will enhance the participant’s quality of experience in the North East, provide new social opportunities, and develop new or expand on existing skills.   

Tasks:

You will be involved in creating a welcoming and safe environment for the participants while supporting them in developing their English language skills.

Our focus is both in supporting ESOL learners in their English language development in conjunction with celebrating our varied cultures in our similarities and differences.
