We are searching for someone to support a small group of men to learn NZ sign language basics. Ideally we will hold a weekly session where the men can learn new sign each week, and then practice in their own time. By supporting this learning we are ultimately hoping to increase the number of people who can understand basic sign and better communicate with those who use this everyday, both whilst in our care but also in the wider community.

Requirements:

Understanding of basic-intermediate NZ sign
Ability and desire to share this with others
No formal teaching education but confidence in doing so - or to at least give it ago!

Note - after 6 visits all volunteers are eligible for MTA vouchers to the value of $300 - once per financial year (July-June) to assist with travel costs and recognise the time given.

A Ministry of Justice background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

1-2 hours per week

Getting started:
