Why our client's work is vital
Reading and writing change everything. They provide tools to get the most out of life and shape your future, leading to better results at school and better job opportunities. When children grow up without tools to communicate, or access to books and opportunities to write, it becomes harder to reach their goals.
Our client helps people overcome these challenges and improve life chances through the power of words—reading, writing, speaking and listening—from first words through school days to training, jobs and beyond.
What Our Client Offers You
* A strong, mission-driven team culture with flexible working options and an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute to success.
* A competitive salary and benefits including a generous leave allowance totaling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of salary, cycle-to-work scheme, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.
