Project Officer, Criminal Justice

3 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom National Literacy Trust Full time

**Key information**:
**Closing date: 10am, Tuesday 2 July 2024**

**Salary**: £26,000 to £28,000 per year

Contract: Fixed term for 2 years

Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week

Location: Based in London, SW8 / home and flexible working

Interviews: Online, Thursday 11 July 2024

**We empower people with the literacy skills they need to succeed in life. Together we're helping people change their stories. You could join us as Project Officer for our growing Criminal Justice programmes.**

**What you’ll be doing**:
We have been delivering criminal justice and literacy programmes for more than 10 years, and our work includes projects across men’s and women’s prisons, as well as Young Offender institutions and services in the community.

We are recruiting a Project Officer to be responsible for the administrative support that underlies this work. As well as general administrative tasks, you will arrange events in prisons, create resources and manage relationships with publishers and authors. There will also be the opportunity to get experience of project management, by supporting the delivery of some of our programmes.

You will be part of our criminal justice team, and will also work closely with our communications and development team, as well as prison staff, authors and workshop facilitators, and external funders.

**What we’re looking for**:
You will be experienced in administration and team support, as well as communicating with external stakeholders and planning events. You will have excellent communication and organisational skills, as well as attention to detail and capacity to maintain accurate records.

Experience of using databases and website content management is desirable.

**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.

We support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.
