Project Officer, Birmingham

West Midlands, United Kingdom WEBRECRUIT Full time

Project Officer, Birmingham
£26,000 per year pro rata (0.8 FTE or full time)
28 to 35 hours per week
Permanent role
Based in Birmingham as a home working role


Our client empowers people with the reading and writing skills they need to succeed in life. Together, they're helping people change their stories. You could join them to support their work with volunteers across Birmingham.

What you’ll be doing

Our client’s project identifies, trains and supports volunteers who work with them to design new and exciting ways to promote reading and writing in their community.

They are recruiting a Project Officer to deliver this work across Birmingham. You will develop new strategies for recruiting volunteers and mobilising key community partnerships to increase 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.

You will be based in Birmingham, working from home with regular travel locally and across Birmingham, as well as occasional national travel when necessary.

What our client is 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 reading and writing issues, working with schools and community-based organisations, coupled with experience of developing resources and training materials.

Due to the nature of delivery, you will need a full clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle. This role will also involve managing book stocks and other resources.

Why our client’s work is so vital

Reading and writing change everything.

They give you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. 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.

What our client offers you

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

As well as a competitive salary, they 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 client’s people are their most important asset and they value and respect diversity in all its forms (seen and unseen). They particularly welcome applications from those from Black and Asian backgrounds, as well as candidates with disabilities and from the communities in which they work. They would like to increase representation of these groups among staff as they know greater diversity will lead to an even greater impact for their work.
