Stroud, United Kingdom Read for Good Full time

Job description

**Why work for us?**

We are passionate about motivating all children and young people to develop a **life-changing love of reading**, positively shaping their futures towards a more equal society.

Read for Good is a national charity committed to improving the lives of children in schools, hospitals and communities across the UK by donating brand new books and delivering storytelling sessions and other inspiring programmes. We believe all reading should be valued, undirected and unaccessed. You would be joining us at a pivotal and transformational moment, where along with our board and new Chair, we are developing a new long-term strategy that aims to significantly expand our reach and increase our impact.

Read for Good is a national charity committed to improving the lives of children in schools, hospitals and communities across the UK. We are a talented, creative, inquisitive bunch who share a passion for making a difference in the world. Alongside our wider team of freelancers, volunteers and trustees, we thrive in a culture that encourages curiosity, collaboration and creativity. Our distinctive branding, enthusiasm for internal and external collaboration, high professional standards and our passion to create compelling programmes that deliver results mean that we punch above our weight.

We pride ourselves on our charity’s impact. Whether it’s featuring on BBC One’s Children in Need appeal show, BBC Radio 4’s Charity Appeal, or hosting events for tens of thousands of children with the likes of Greg James, Bear Grylls, Cressida Cowell and Michael Morpurgo - we always aim high and drive for results.

We believe people benefit from working together, so our family-friendly roles are based in modern, light, plant-filled offices with free parking, next to a stream filled with wildlife and just a 5-minute walk from the lovely shops and cafes in the beautiful Cotswolds market town of Nailsworth.

Did we mention we’re mad about books?

As one member of our team said “It doesn’t feel like work”.

Don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes on our person spec - you might still be just the right person for our team. If you're excited about working for us, and have most of the skills or experience we're looking for, please apply. Check out our website and LinkedIn for other available roles.
