Programme Manager, Skills & Engagement, The Reading Agency

The Reading Agency is a UK charity with a mission to empower people of all ages to read. Evidence shows that reading improves health and wellbeing, life chances and social connections.

The Reading Agency champions access to the proven power of reading by providing activities for all ages. Working with public libraries, prisons, hospitals and other community settings, we reach over two million people a year. But with a UK population of over 67 million that's not nearly enough. We want to get more people fired up about reading because everything changes when you read.

This role is part of the Skills and Engagement team working to effectively deliver key skills and engagement reading programmes, including Summer Reading Challenge and Reading Sparks, and the delivery of our adult reading resources.

The ideal candidate will have experience of delivering complex and/or national programmes with multiple stakeholders, as well as innovative content creation and digital development.
