Who’s in Health? is a campaign to get 1000s of people from the healthcare sector to volunteer to go into primary schools and chat informally to children about their jobs. The aim is to help the children see the relevance of what they are learning at Key Stage 2 (aged 7 – 11) especially in science, maths and English and to broaden and raise their future aspirations.
Volunteers may be hospital doctors, GPs, nurses, ambulance drivers, high street pharmacists, healthcare assistants, dieticians, surgeons, midwives, students and researchers to name just a few. Volunteers and schools will connect via the free online match-making service Primary Futures, Register here to find local volunteers for your school http://www.inspiringthefuture.org/primary-futures/
This guide is about bringing volunteers from the world of work into the classroom to enrich learning. It is designed to help busy subject teachers find volunteers easily and quickly via the free, national Inspiring the Future system.
It was written by Education and Employers, a national charity, in collaboration with TeachFirst and with classroom teachers who have first-hand experience of using volunteers to bring learning to life.
