Our Literacy Hubs are a ten-year, place-based response to the challenges of intergenerational low literacy, working with a range of partners to shape and deliver activity as part of a local strategy. Each Hub has a different approach to tackle low literacy based on the assets and needs in the area.
You will be responsible for leading, developing and delivering our Birmingham Hub. Project delivery will be in partnership with the University of Birmingham, with a focus on raising the literacy levels of teenagers and adults from priority wards across the city, who may face significant challenges.
You will build partnerships, develop and deliver projects, and support behaviour change campaigning activity, ensuring it is embedded within broader local priorities. You will also be involved in recruiting local partners, supporting evaluation activity, and will represent the charity locally, including to project stakeholders and as a media spokesperson.
You will be based at the University of Birmingham, but also able to work from home alongside regular local travel, and national travel when necessary. This will include coming to London three times per year for our regular staff days, as well as induction. Travel around the local area, and from Birmingham to London will be covered by our expenses policy.
