At the Adult Literacy Trust (ALT) we believe that literacy is a right, not a privilege, and we want everyone to have the chance to reap the benefits of this crucial life skill. We know how invaluable literacy is in changing learners’ lives, improving their life chances, employability, health and wellbeing.
ALT trains volunteers to offer personalised, one-to-one support in reading skills. We partner with adult education providers in some of London’s most deprived areas to offer our services to those who could benefit most from our support. Our approach is learner-led and focuses on helping adult learners to feel supported, empowered and confident in their literacy development. We act as an essential accompaniment to the progress learners are making in overcrowded classrooms, where overstretched teachers can struggle to provide the tailored, one-to-one attention that many learners need.
Founded in 2021, ALT is a young but ambitious charity and we’re looking for an organised, dedicated, and approachable Project Coordinator who will be at the very heart of delivering our growing service. As Project Coordinator, you’ll lead on the day-to-day coordination of our volunteers and the adult learners they support, working to ensure ALT delivers an effective and impactful service.

· You’ll offer advice and best practice support to volunteers. You’ll review volunteers’ sessions reports regularly, and observe their sessions where needed
· You’ll work with the Volunteer Manager to run volunteer drop-in sessions and social events
· You’ll work with the Volunteer Manager to develop and expand the programme, being alert to volunteer and learner feedback and growth opportunities
This role is for you if:

· You are sympathetic to the barriers adult learners may face
· You are warm, approachable, and eager to support volunteers and adult learners alike

About FareShare
FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to nearly 9,500 frontline charities and community groups.
The food we redistribute is nutritious and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.
About FareShare Go
FareShare and the Irish social enterprise FoodCloud have been working together since 2016 in a partnership designed to help UK retailers address the issue of edible surplus food they may have within their stores. This innovative partnership, known as FareShare Go, brings together a technology platform and FareShare’s knowledge of the UK charity food redistribution market. Using this App we are connecting charities with edible surplus foods. Initially this scheme has been working with Tesco, with a view to roll this service out to all retailers across the UK & Ireland in the longer term. Since launching the scheme last year we have already connected over 7,500 charities with over 2,700 stores.
The role
As Community Coordinator, your role will focus on the growth and sustainability of the FareShare Go programme, through maximising relationships and adding value to create the best experience for our charity community.

This role will be essential to assist the organisation to deliver the promised funding to local areas across Engand by the 2026 deadline. The position is being offered on an 18-month fixed term contract basis.
This role can be offered on a fully remote or partially remote basis, with monthly team meetings in the office and travel for work which is remunerated.
Local Trust was established in 2012 to deliver Big Local, a National Lottery Community Fund-funded programme which committed £1m each to 150 neighbourhoods across England. The £217m originally provided by The National Lottery Community Fund to support this programme is the largest single-purpose Lottery-funded endowment ever made, and the biggest ever investment by a non-state funder in place-based, resident-led change.
Local Trust's Delivery Team is responsible for leading the effective delivery of Big Local over the final years of the programme, and ensuring Local Trust gets the right support to areas, especially those that face significant challenges in spending their area allocation by March 2026, which will often need more intensive and more bespoke interventions.
The delivery support team leads the commissioning and management of Local Trust’s contractual relationship with a wide range of partners (including our pool of Area Advisers), ensuring they are appropriately managed to deliver high quality, relevant and effective services to Big Local areas, enabling them deliver on their plans, close out from the programme successfully, and achieve their ambitions for legacy.
The Senior Coordinator for Delivery Support will play a dynamic role, reporting to the Delivery Support Manager, leading on range of contracts, and maintaining strong internal networks across Local Trust.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience of managing multiple projects simultaneously and meeting tight contractual deadlines. This person will be able to initiate and maintain effective and productive working relationships whilst being supportive and decisive when necessary to ensure objectives are met. Charity service delivery experience will be essential in addition to having a deep insight into how funding works on a local and national basis. Community development, social justice, housing, community cohesion will all play a part in this important work, so someone who shares these interests and can bring programme management and delivery knowledge to the table. This person will be experienced in stakeholder management, will have strong budget monitoring acumen and a broad and confident knowledge of databases and all relevant MS Office products.
This role represents a great opportunity for an experienced programme delivery professional to have real input into the success of this well know and nationally relevant funding cycle.
