Due to the nature of this role, you will need to be able to work from our client’s office for at least two days per week, although you will be able to work from home at other times if you prefer, in line with their working from home policy.

Why our client’s work is so vital
Reading and writing change everything.
They give you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. They’re the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. They’re 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 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 reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision-makers
* They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their skills
