An exciting opportunity to become part of the Senior Management Team (SMT) at Schoolreaders, a dynamic and fast-growing charity based in Bedford. Schoolreaders is a national charity tackling poor literacy through a network of volunteers who provide one-to-one reading support to children in primary schools across the country. We are the largest national in-school child literacy charity, supporting over 28,000 children in over 1,400 schools every week. We have ambitious plans to grow and support many more children in future, so it’s an exciting time to join us.

We are looking for a committed individual to join Schoolreaders to be part of the SMT and wider charity, delivering this vital support to children. As Head of Business Support, you will be coming on board to develop and manage the structure and team that deliver the support functions for the charity, helping keep everything running smoothly.
