Job description

Community Engagement Coordinator – North Region, England

Location: This post is home-based, working within BookTrust’s Northern England region, which covers the North West, North East, and Yorkshire & the Humber. The role requires flexibility and travel across the region and to other BookTrust offices in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Contract: Permanent, full-time

Salary: £30,000 per annum

BookTrust is the UK's largest reading charity, and we reach millions of children every year with books, resources and support to get every child reading, regularly and by choice. We are national in scale and operate in every region in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. We work through every local authority, via children’s centers, schools, libraries and health professionals, to reach families. Our England Partnerships Team supports our wide range of partners in a place-based way, working in and with local communities and the children and families most in need of support.

As a Community Engagement Coordinator, you will work within the regional partnerships team.  You will manage a caseload of community work to support programme delivery, partnership network development and bespoke learning and development with the BookTrust partner network. You will create excellent links into communities and develop relationships with stakeholders in order to support BookTrust delivery and development, and place-based, community-led initiatives.

We are looking for a positive and enthusiastic, credible ambassador with a demonstrable ability to make connections across a wide range of people and groups in order to deliver ambitious projects. You will have great communications skills with the ability to engage effectively with a diverse range of audiences, in writing and in person. You may have worked within or across a local authority provider or network, in outreach or in a project within a local community or the third sector. You may have experience working with children and families experiencing deprivation, or in children’s reading. You will be highly motivated with the ability to work unsupervised across multiple projects in disparate locations simultaneously, and to work at pace, often to tight deadlines.
