Each year, eight children in an average class leave primary school unable to read well. These children often struggle in school, and beyond. Reading isn’t just about books. It’s about reading a road sign, a safety manual, a birthday card. It’s understanding a job application and the prescription that could help save your life.

When a child can navigate words, they can navigate the world. That’s why we’re helping children develop the reading skills they need to succeed by creating flexible volunteering at the heart of our communities. The Bookmark app matches schools with fully safeguarded, vetted and trained reading volunteers in the local community, at the tap of a button. Each volunteer delivers one-to-one reading sessions for a six-week programme with a child who needs extra help with their reading. For the children who need us, we’re changing their story.

We are looking for a creative,  pro-active marketer to help us build our volunteer community and grow the Bookmark brand. We are proud to offer an innovative and unique volunteering programme, and we’re looking for someone who is excited to champion that and think creatively about how we can achieve cut-through in a crowded volunteering market.

You’ll be an ambassador for our brand, adopting our upbeat, friendly brand personality and creating communications that energise and excite both prospective and existing volunteers. You’ll have an eye for varied, engaging content, and the marketing flair to flex that for our different audiences, including our corporate supporter base. You will be comfortable with a target-driven approach, and confident using data and insights to make decisions and achieve a strong ROI.

This is a new role that will have a significant impact on the children we help, enabling us attract a wide pool of reading volunteers to deliver the reading support that they need.

Part time, 21 hours per week

Brixton, London

Over the past few years we have become the unique and respected voice of Disabled cyclists and have on-going work streams with Department for Transport, Transport for London, some London boroughs. We are influential within the major cycling advocacy groups in the UK (CyclingUK; London Cycling Campaign; British Cycling; Sustrans; etc.). We have been described as thought leaders in our field (in fact we are yet to find another organisation representing Disabled cyclists anywhere in the world). Our work includes building strategic partnerships with, on the one hand, other groups of cyclists, who encounter many of the barriers which Disabled cyclists encounter and, on the other hand, other Disability organisations who are also fighting for improved access to physical activity and to transport.

Building our influence and reputation was in no small part helped by the creation of a post of Campaigns & Policy Officer in 2016. This gave us the capacity to carry out unique data gathering and research, stay on top of policy developments; to build support from key politicians (at local, regional and national levels); to input into major infrastructure guidance reviews and, crucially, to gather and publicise increasingly large numbers of Disabled cyclists’ stories. Neil (our post-holder) wrote and launched our first ever Guide to Inclusive Cycling (which is a unique resource, used worldwide), developed Campaigns pages on our website, an annual survey of Disabled cyclists’ views and experiences and created our regular Campaigns newsletter.

Sadly, after 3.5 years, Neil has recently moved out of London and the post is now vacant. We are therefore recruiting for the next person to take this part of our work forward to ever greater heights.

If you’re as fired up about supporting local activism as you are about influencing politicians’ understanding of what matters to their constituents; if you thrive on balancing a variety of priorities and pride yourself on getting things done, this is the role for you and we’d love you to apply, using the forms below. You will find more details about the role in the Information Pack and an Application Form on our website.
