Building on past successes, we now have ambitious expansion plans to address the need.

A highly rewarding, senior fundraising role where you can develop your own skills whilst making your mark on a fast-growing national children’s charity. 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.
