The Queen’s Reading Room is a charity dedicated to celebrating the transformative power of reading.

Inspired by Her Majesty The Queen’s passion for literature, and founded by The Queen in 2023, we connect readers around the world with books, authors and ideas through curated content, grassroots partnerships, innovative neuroscientific research, collaborations and major live events. We believe books enrich lives, strengthen communities and support wellbeing.

The Queen’s Reading Room is entering an exciting new phase of growth — and partnerships are central to our future.

We are seeking an exceptional Projects and Partnerships Coordinator to help grow and deliver our grassroots partnerships and flagship initiatives, including The Queen’s Reading Medal and pioneering neuroscientific research projects exploring the impact of reading.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-profile and ambitious charity at a pivotal moment — and to help shape meaningful national initiatives that champion the power and benefits of reading.

About the Role

This role sits at the heart of our programme delivery and partnership development.

You will:

• Build and support grassroots partnerships with organisations including shelters, refuges and prisons
   

• Oversee the coordination of key projects, including neuroscientific and academic research partnerships
   

• Oversee development of pilot projects with employers and workplaces
   

• Support the development of training toolkits and resources for partner organisations
   

• Coordinate book donation initiatives to community settings
   

• Work closely with our Impact Manager to ensure compelling qualitative and quantitative data is gathered from partnerships
   

• Explore technological solutions (such as digital platforms or an app) to help scale our grassroots activity
   

• Contribute to the planning of conferences and roundtables to share impact, research findings and sector learning
   

As this area grows, the role will evolve to include greater responsibility for convening partners and positioning The Queen’s Reading Room as a thought leader in the field.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised, proactive and detail-oriented
   

• Experienced in coordinating projects or partnerships in a charity, cultural, education or academic setting
   

• Confident working with senior stakeholders, academics and community partners
   

• Comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously
   

• Interested in impact measurement and using evidence to strengthen programmes
   

• Motivated by the power of reading and literature to transform lives
   

Experience working with research institutions, developing training resources, delivering events, or supporting digital platforms would be advantageous.

Working Arrangements

• Hybrid working, home-based with regular travel to London and the option to work in an office based in London Victoria. Our ideal candidate is based in or around London and must have the right to work in the UK.

• Occasional UK travel.

Why Join Us?

• Play a key role in a growing and ambitious national charity
   

• Contribute to high-profile and meaningful initiatives
   

• Help shape scalable grassroots programmes
   

• Work within a collaborative and mission-driven team
   

If you are excited by the idea of combining partnerships, projects, impact and innovation — and want to help champion reading on a national stage — we would love to hear from you.
