By working with us, you can help to transform lives through literacy.

In this fast-paced and exciting role, you’ll have the opportunity to oversee projects that will make a positive difference to young people and nurture their passion for the written word.

Your Role

As the Project Manager, you’ll support the success of our Young Writers programme in Bradford and two other locations, which finds creative ways to engage disadvantaged young people in writing and poetry.
