Key information

Closing date: 10am, Wednesday 24 June 2026

Salary: £26,000 per year

Contract: Fixed term until March 2027

Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week

Location: Based in Swindon as a home working role

Interviews: Online, Wednesday 1 July 2026

What you’ll be doing

Our Literacy Champions project identifies, trains and supports volunteers who work with us to design new and exciting ways to promote literacy in their community. We currently have over 1,000 Literacy Champions across the country.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised individual to support and coordinate our Literacy Champions work in Swindon. Working alongside our colleagues at Swindon Borough Council and our national communities team, you will develop new strategies for recruiting volunteers and mobilising key community partnerships to increase our reach and build sustainability. You will also organise and deliver training events and maintain regular contact with volunteers, gather data, share learning and develop case studies to build an evidence base of impact. This will include the development and coordination of a community-based early years project focused on improving home reading habits amongst families with young children.

You will be based in Swindon, working from home with regular travel locally, as well as national travel when necessary. This will include coming to London three times per year for our regular staff days, as well as induction, and three team days per year that take place in other locations. All travel expenses will be covered.

This role is also suitable for secondment from an appropriate local partner.

What we’re looking for

You will be experienced in recruiting, training and supporting volunteers, and providing project support in a charity or educational context. You will have excellent knowledge of literacy issues, working with early years settings, schools and community-based organisations, coupled with experience of developing resources and training materials. You will need to live in, or within easy access of, the local area in which you will be working and have an excellent understanding of the community and its families.

Due to the nature of delivery, you will need a full driving license and access to your own vehicle. You will also need to be able to manage physical aspects of the role, including managing book stock and other resources.

This role is also subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check in line with our safeguarding policy and safer recruitment procedures.

Why our work is so vital

Literacy changes everything.

It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It’s the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. It’s better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go.

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity helping people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond.

We work collaboratively in local communities, focusing our work in 20 areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges.
We support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children.
We campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and decision-makers.
We support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their literacy skills

What we offer you

Our team are passionate about our mission and we have a strong and positive working culture, based on shared values and respect. We offer a range of flexible working options and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.

As well as a competitive salary, we offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

Application details

Our people are our most important asset and we value and respect diversity in all its forms (seen and unseen). We particularly welcome applications from those from Black and Asian backgrounds, as well as candidates with disabilities and from the communities in which we work. We would like to increase representation of these groups among our staff as we know greater diversity will lead to an even greater impact for our work.
