The British Dyslexia Association (BDA) is a charity that represents the voice of people living with dyslexia. We aim to influence government and other institutions to promote a dyslexia friendly society that enables dyslexic people of all ages to reach their full potential.

This is an exciting role for the BDA, which has been created with the purpose of coordinating our community projects to increase awareness of dyslexia and improving outcomes for children and adults with dyslexia. The role will focus on various projects that we run, including our Local Hubs, a volunteer led project currently operating in Northern Ireland and South Wales as well as other community projects. The postholder will work with existing volunteers to form links with schools and businesses in the local areas and support outreach activities.

They will also support the development of the BDA’s wider offer for education settings and workplaces to increase our reach to support more people with dyslexia. This is a varied hands-on role that would suit someone with experience managing community projects and working with volunteers. We are looking for someone who is passionate about community led projects to improve educational outcomes and life chances for people with dyslexia.

We are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at the BDA. We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do.
