London, United Kingdom Adult Literacy Trust Full time

Job description

At the Adult Literacy Trust (ALT) we believe that literacy is a right, not a privilege, and we want everyone to have the chance to reap the benefits of this crucial life skill. We know how invaluable literacy is in changing learners’ lives, improving their life chances, employability, health and wellbeing.

ALT trains volunteers to offer personalised, one-to-one support in reading skills. We partner with adult education providers in some of London’s most deprived areas to offer our services to those who could benefit most from our support. Our approach is learner-led and focuses on helping adult learners to feel supported, empowered and confident in their literacy development. We act as an essential accompaniment to the progress learners are making in overcrowded classrooms, where overstretched teachers can struggle to provide the tailored, one-to-one attention that many learners need.

Founded in 2021, ALT is a young but ambitious charity and we’re looking for an organised, dedicated, and approachable Project Coordinator who will be at the very heart of delivering our growing service. As Project Coordinator, you’ll lead on the day-to-day coordination of our volunteers and the adult learners they support, working to ensure ALT delivers an effective and impactful service.

**Position**: Project Coordinator

**Reporting to**: Volunteer Manager

**Location**: Remote/home-working with in-person work in London as needed (varies according to time of year but an average of four times per month, reasonable travel expenses covered)

**Hours**: 21-28 hours per week (negotiable)

**Your primary responsibilities as Project Coordinator**:

- You’ll be the main point of contact for your assigned education partners (principally, Further Education Colleges), meeting with them regularly to ensure the ALT programme runs smoothly
- You’ll support all volunteers and learners from your assigned education partners
- You’ll be establishing and coordinating volunteer-learner pairings, ensuring your communication is clear and timely
- You’ll help to support volunteers through recruitment, training and onboarding
- You’ll visit classes to pitch the ALT programme to eligible adult learners and support them through the sign-up process. You’ll become a familiar, friendly face to each education partner’s learners and staff
- You’ll liaise with learners directly to confirm their availability and individual needs, tailoring your communication as required
- You’ll offer advice and best practice support to volunteers. You’ll review volunteers’ sessions reports regularly, and observe their sessions where needed
- You’ll work with the Volunteer Manager to run volunteer drop-in sessions and social events
- You’ll work with the Volunteer Manager to develop and expand the programme, being alert to volunteer and learner feedback and growth opportunities

**This role is for you if**:

- You have a genuine passion for literacy, and want to help break the cycle of poor literacy
- You are sympathetic to the barriers adult learners may face
- You are warm, approachable, and eager to support volunteers and adult learners alike
- You are pro-active, responsive, and able to work under your own initiative
- You have experience of coordinating and motivating volunteers
- You have experience of supporting individuals from all walks of life
- You communicate clearly and concisely and can build rapport with people at all levels
- You are professional, organised, and can work independently to deadlines
- You are London-based or willing to travel to London for regular in-person work when needed
- You want to join a small team and help grow the ALT programme as we expand across London
