Are you passionate about improving children’s literacy and life chances? Schoolreaders is a leading children’s literacy charity and we’re seeking new Trustees to join our Board. This is a fantastic opportunity to use your expertise to help shape the overall direction and vision of our innovative and impactful charity.
Schoolreaders is a UK-based charity that provides one-to-one reading support to children in primary schools by matching them with local volunteers. We became the largest in-school reading support Charity in England in the 2024/25 academic year, supporting over 35,800 children each week. A significant portion of the children we support (45%) are eligible for Pupil Premium funding, and over 50% of partner schools are in disadvantaged areas.
As a Trustee, you will work with the executive team and other Trustees to ensure the charity remains mission-drive, financially resilient, and effective in delivering its high-impact literacy support. The role involves shaping and challenging our strategy, championing evidence-based interventions, and acting as an ambassador for the charity. We are looking for candidates with expertise in two key areas: IT and digital marketing, and education.
Specific experience desired includes:
IT and Digital Marketing
The Board would benefit from stronger insight into organisational IT systems and efficiencies in operational processes, particularly the management of cyber security risks and the strategic adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Broader experience in overseeing IT strategy and infrastructure would also be highly valuable. If candidates also bring digital media experience — such as online recruitment, fundraising campaigns, or strengthening web presence — this would be an asset, but it is not the primary focus. This expertise could come from any sector, and candidates may have held senior leadership roles such as Chief Information Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Digital Officer, or similar positions with responsibility for IT strategy, systems, or security.
Education
The Board welcomes applications from those with current experience as a primary school practitioner, ideally within the state sector. Insight into challenges linked to deprivation and the use of educational technology would be particularly valuable in shaping policy, practice and partnership development. Candidates may have held leadership roles such as Head of Department, Assistant Head, Deputy Head, Headteacher, Chief Executive, or Director of Education. Appointees will also join the Education Safeguarding Consultation Group (meets three times per year).
Above all, successful candidates will be motivated by the mission of Schoolreaders and committed to supporting children’s literacy and life chances.
This is a voluntary role, though reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses will be reimbursed. The commitment includes six virtual Board meetings per year, one in-person annual meeting, and an annual strategy day. The initial term is three years, with the possibility of renewal.
The deadline to apply is Midnight on 29th October 2025. The recruitment process is being administered in partnership with Nurole.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
