Do you want to help lead an organisation committed to addressing low literacy and numeracy levels amongst people in the criminal justice system?

We’ve made substantial progress in recent years, with improvements and expansions to our delivery model and significant growth in our staff team. To support our strategic development, we are recruiting new Trustees to help steer our activities and strengthen our governance.

Working collaboratively with our non-executive Board of 14 trustees, your responsibilities will include shaping and monitoring the charity’s strategic direction, overseeing financial planning, risk and compliance, supporting and constructively challenging senior staff, and acting as an ambassador for our work.

To succeed in this role, you will bring strong personal commitment to our mission, the confidence to engage in strategic and governance discussions, and a readiness to support and challenge respectfully.

We particularly welcome applicants with skills or experience in governance/regulation or legal practice, digital strategy, marketing and brand development, fundraising, board-level financial management, HR and organisational development, educational practice, leadership across public/private/charity sectors, government relations, and equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging. We are equally interested in those with lived experience relevant to our mission (for example, developing reading skills later in life or having personal experience of the criminal justice system).

If you share our dedication to supporting literacy, numeracy, and transformation within the criminal justice system, we’d love to hear from you - please see our recruitment pack for further details.

Benefits: Induction training and ongoing training to support and develop you in your volunteer role; ongoing support and quarterly reviews to gain the most from your volunteering experience; flexible volunteering opportunities, subject to the requirements of your role; reasonable, out of pocket, volunteering expenses are reimbursed.
