UK Reads is the UK-based charity of the global non-profit World Literacy Foundation, which works to eradicate illiteracy and promote equitable access to education. UK Reads specifically targets underserved children and communities across the UK, ensuring that every child has access to the literacy support they need to thrive academically and personally.
Our work focuses on closing the literacy gap for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We partner with schools, libraries, and local organisations to deliver high-impact literacy programmes, distribute free books, and foster a love of reading.
We believe that literacy is the foundation of lifelong opportunity, and we are committed to ensuring no child is left behind because of where they were born or their personal circumstances.
UK Reads is seeking dynamic, passionate, and engaging Literacy Workshop Facilitators to join our team. As a Literacy Facilitator, you will be responsible for delivering inspiring and interactive literacy workshops to children and young people in schools and community settings across London, with a particular focus on East London.

Sessions are child-centred, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of different schools and learners. Activities include interactive storytelling, games, drama-based literacy, and imaginative writing tasks that spark curiosity and build confidence.
Facilitators will also help deliver our whole-class or group Pen Pal Project—a volunteer-driven initiative that engages pupils in the power of letter writing.

Additional Responsibilities:
- Support the Delivery Lead in developing and delivering targeted literacy workshops tailored to students' reading levels, interests, and compensation needs.
- Co-deliver Pen Pal Project writing workshops, engaging whole classes and supporting volunteers in the delivery of inclusive, creative writing sessions for children aged 5–16. Encourage writing enjoyment, fluency, and confidence in every session.
- Adapt workshop content to suit varying literacy levels and ensure accessibility and engagement for all participants.

Stroke Association is the UK's largest charity dedicated to helping with the emotional, practical and financial cost a stroke can have.
Surviving a stroke is just the start of a long and difficult recovery journey. Stroke Association is there to support stroke survivors and help their families find the strength they need to find their way back to living a fulfilling life.
A stroke can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time and one in four strokes happen in people of working age.
“I’m Leighton and when I was 39 years young I had a stroke. There’s a sentence I never, ever thought I would write. But that’s the thing with stroke, it doesn’t care how fit and healthy I was. It doesn’t care that I’m a dad with a 10-year-old son. A son that needs me.”
We are looking for a passionate, enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the team raising vital funds to provide this invaluable lifelong support for all stroke survivors, just like Leighton.
The Role
This is an exciting new role in a newly created team, formed to acquire strategic corporate partnerships and community connections. Main responsibilities will include:
- Developing a robust pipeline of future support focussing on high value relationships.
- Delivering engagement strategies and products to enhance the conversion rate of your pipeline.
- Developing and delivering a relationship stewardship plan for all corporate partners.
- Delivering an individual income target.
- Tracking and monitoring income and pipeline values to support with forecasting and budgeting.
The Person
We are looking for a confident and enthusiastic person with excellent communication and relationship building skills. You should be excited by the prospect of building a new pipeline and portfolio of corporate partners and be confident stewarding relationships in this space.
You must be able to work flexibly to maximise opportunities across Scotland, and have the initiative and ability to work with autonomy. Previous experience in fundraising is desirable; however, we are also keen to speak with people who also have the knowledge and experience in building relationships and are keen to transfer this skillset into the rewarding world of fundraising!
Why Stroke Association?
The Fundraising team at Stroke Association pride themselves on fostering an open, honest, flexible and supportive working environment. The culture is such that everyone feels valued and recognised and despite being a disparate team, there are strong bonds formed across the charity. Not only does this charity transform the lives of stroke survivors and their families, but it also offers a wonderful environment to work in where people add value and have a positive impact every single day.
The charity’s benefits also include elements such as volunteering days, long service awards, incremental annual leave increase with service, a generous pension contribution and enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
If this sounds like the opportunity for the next phase of your career, then get in touch! The role permanent and full-time (but flexible working will be considered). You must either have a driving licence and access to your own vehicle, or be able to demonstrate that you can meet the travel requirements of the role which include travelling extensively across the region/country.
If you think you could be the right person to fulfil the exciting responsibilities of this role, apply here, or get in contact with Charlie, Jen or Leanne at Charity Horizons for more information:
Please note: If you would like to submit an application or express your interest in an alternative format such as audio or video upload, or require any adaptations for your initial engagement with us, please contact either Jen or Leanne who will be happy to advise on this.
