Hub Manager
£35,000 per year
Full-time, 35 hours per week
Permanent role
Based in Birmingham / home and flexible working
Our client empowers people with the skills they need to succeed in life. Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them to lead their work in Birmingham.
What You’ll Be Doing
Our client’s hubs are a place-based response to the challenges of intergenerational low literacy, working with a range of partners to shape and deliver activity as part of a local strategy. Each hub has a different approach to tackle low literacy based on the assets and needs in the area.
You will be responsible for leading, developing and delivering their Birmingham Hub. Project delivery will focus on raising the literacy levels of teenagers and adults from priority wards across the city, who may face significant challenges.
You will build partnerships, develop and deliver projects, and support behaviour change campaigning activity, ensuring it is embedded within broader local priorities. You will also be involved in recruiting local partners, supporting evaluation activity, and will represent the charity locally, including to project stakeholders and as a media spokesperson.
You will be based in Birmingham, but also able to work from home alongside regular local travel, and national travel when necessary. This will include coming to London three times per year for their regular staff days, as well as induction. Travel around the local area, and from Birmingham to London will be covered by our client’s expenses policy.
What Our Client Is Looking For
You will have excellent project management and communication skills, as well as experience of event planning and delivery. Good knowledge of Birmingham, and working with teenagers and young people is essential. Experience working in an education, community or library organisation in Birmingham, would be an advantage.
Due to the nature of delivery, you will need a full clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
Why our client’s work is so vital
Literacy changes everything.
It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It’s the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. It’s better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go.
Our client helps people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond.
* They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in 20 areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges.
* They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children.
* They campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and decision-makers.
* They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their literacy skills.
What Our Client Will Offer You
Our client’s team are passionate about their mission, and they have a strong and positive working culture, based on shared values and respect. They offer a range of flexible working options and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to their success, whoever you are.
As well as a competitive salary, they offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle-to-work scheme, an employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.
They support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to their success, whoever you are.
Application details
Our client’s people are their most important asset, and they value and respect diversity in all its forms (seen and unseen). They particularly welcome applications from those from Black and Asian backgrounds, as well as candidates with disabilities and from the communities in which they work. They would like to increase the representation of these groups among their staff as they know greater diversity will lead to an even greater impact on their work.
