Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them as they work to ensure every primary school in the UK has a dedicated library space. What you'll be doing The government has committed to ensuring a library in every primary school in England by the end of this Parliament - a step that supports the aim to tackle the nation's steep decline in reading for pleasure.

Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them as they work to ensure every primary school in the UK has a dedicated library space, leading delivery across the South West of England. What you'll be doing The government has committed to ensuring a library in every primary school in England by the end of this Parliament - a step that supports the aim to tackle the nation's steep decline in reading for pleasure. Our client will work to design the programme of delivery in England, whilst also continuing its mission to ensure every primary school in the whole of the UK has a dedicated library space to help create a strong reading for pleasure culture for its pupils.

Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them as they work to ensure every primary school in the UK has a dedicated library space, leading delivery across the South West of England. What you'll be doing The government has committed to ensuring a library in every primary school in England by the end of this Parliament - a step that supports the aim to tackle the nation's steep decline in reading for pleasure. Our client will work to design the programme of delivery in England, whilst also continuing its mission to ensure every primary school in the whole of the UK has a dedicated library space to help create a strong reading for pleasure culture for its pupils. You will manage all aspects of project delivery in targeted locations across the South West of England, including the recruitment of schools, delivering training and evaluation, and creating high-quality resources linked to the school curriculum. You will be based in our client's school libraries team, and work closely with their communications, membership and local areas teams, as well as a range of external partners, including schools, publishers, authors and funders. This role is based in the South West of England and will involve regular travel around the area.

They're the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. They're 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. Our client helps 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. - They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges. - They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children. - They campaign to make reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision-makers. - They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders' institutions to build their skills.
