Role Description:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Trust Fundraiser with a proven track record in income generation and relationship management. This role can either be based at home or in our Bedford office. Schoolreaders is a rapidly growing child literacy charity with ambitious plans, which is positively impacting the lives of thousands of children every week.

About Schoolreaders:

Schoolreaders was launched seven years ago in Bedfordshire with the aim of recruiting volunteers to provide one-to-one reading support for children in primary schools across the country.  Before the pandemic over 12,700 children in over 650 schools were receiving weekly reading sessions from a Schoolreaders volunteer.  Pre Covid-19, one in four children was leaving primary school unable to read to the expected Government standard.  School closures over the past year mean that many children have fallen even further behind with their reading. Our service is needed more than ever before with 10% of primary schools across the country asking Schoolreaders for reading volunteers. Building on past successes, we now have ambitious expansion plans to address the need.

What you can expect:

A highly rewarding fundraising role where you can develop your skills managing your own portfolio of funders. Schoolreaders is a highly professional charity which values every team-member’s contribution to our team efforts. We offer a generous holiday allowance, enhanced sick pay, an employee assistance programme, plus training and development opportunities. If you want to be part of a great team in a fast-moving, welcoming environment whilst making a huge impact on children’s literacy across the country, this could be the perfect role for you!

Closing date for applications is 23.59 on 8th October 2021 with interviews to be held the week beginning 18th October 2021.

Further details including the job description and application forms can be found on our website.

Applications will be reviewed, and interviews offered, on an ongoing basis. We reserve the right to close the role prior to the closing date should a suitable applicant be found, so please submit your application as soon as possible.

About Ministry of Stories

Ministry of Stories champions the writer in every child. Co-founded by author Nick Hornby in 2010, we help young people discover their confidence, imagination and potential through the power of their writing. We develop self-respect and communication skills through innovative writing programmes and one-to-one mentoring for children living in under-resourced communities, working in schools, and at our dedicated writing centre in east London. We empower young people to write brighter futures for themselves through the power of their ideas, creativity and imagination.

Inspired by San Francisco’s 826 Valencia, you’ll find us hidden behind our own fantastical shop Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, which has been serving London’s monster population (and the occasional human) since 1818.  All proceeds from our monstrous offerings such as Cubed Earwax and Thickest Human Snot go back to support our work with young people.

Our programme currently includes:

• Weekly Community Writing Labs and holiday programmes for children and young people, hosted at our Writing Centre in Hoxton
• A Schools Programme delivering creative writing-led educational workshops, projects and training that support school’s needs
• A National Training offer, supporting cultural and education organisations around the country to embed Ministry of Stories methodology for the benefit of their local children, young people and wider communities

The Ministry of Stories is based in East London. We are open to discussing a hybrid of in-office and home working arrangements and the role will involve occasional off-site and evening meetings. The post is subject to a 3-month probationary period and an Enhanced DBS check.

About our fundraising

Now in our 11th year, Ministry of Stories is focused on growing our writing programmes within our community and primary and secondary schools. To achieve this, we have been focused on expanding our sources of funding and increasing our earned income potential from school partners and our shop.

Our overall direction of travel is to spread financial risk by seeking multi-year funding agreements and increasing the proportion of private income for our core work.

In time, we aspire to rebuild our community and events fundraising, with a careful eye on return on investment.

As with many charities, our fundraising has been significantly affected by COVID-19. However, we are feeling optimistic.

To support this role, we have a motivated senior leadership team and are overseen by an engaged and active board of trustees who understand the importance of fundraising. Our board has invested in a team of two fundraisers for three years, which has helped us to realise income growth, new opportunities and to bring a unique creativity to our fundraising.
