Description of role: Are you looking for a summer volunteering opportunity?
Join us at Medlock Primary's World of Work Day on the 1st of July. They are hosting a World of Work Day event on 1 July, designed to showcase a range of careers and opportunities, and have asked whether students and staff would be interested in being involved.
They are looking for help with the following activites:
1)Guess My Line - Wednesday 1st July 9:30-12pm or 1:30-3pm (30mins)
Volunteers to be interviewed by pupils who then guess the degree/profession. Volunteers then step out and re-enter with uniforms or props to show their job/profession and take further questions. Ideally suited to professions requiring a uniform or specialist equipment. We anticipate the activity should take 30 minutes. We need volunteers for a 30 minute session from 9:30-12pm or 1:30-3pm and we will assign you to a class of no more than 30 pupils with the teacher leading the activity. Please suggest your available time and arrive 15 minutes before.

3)Presentations Wednesday 1st July 9:30-12pm or 1:30-3pm (30mins)

We need volunteers for a 30 minute session between 9:30-12pm or 1:30-3pm and we will assign you to a class of no more than 30 pupils with the class teacher.
