Schools Programme Manager – Midlands
We have an exciting new role in our Midlands region for a Schools Programme Manager to manage a cohort of Literacy and Reading Labs in our partner schools.
Managing a team of skilled Literacy and Reading Lab tutors across several schools, you will have operational responsibility for the running and quality assurance of our expert labs, working in close partnership with our Education team, tutors and school staff – contributing to the continuous improvement of the charity’s school-based educational provision. The postholder will also build relationships with prospective school partners and multi academy trusts to help grow the charity’s presence beyond the existing school portfolio in this region.
The ideal applicant will have solid experience in teaching or tutoring primary aged children with literacy difficulties, experience in managing or supervising staff (including lesson observation and feedback), delivering training and excellent communication skills developed from working with a range of stakeholders. A broad understanding of the education environment and an interest and commitment to closing the literacy gap is key, as is the ability to organise and prioritise your workload effectively and be willing to travel across different partner schools in the Midlands.
We welcome and encourage applications from applicants with lived experience of the barriers and challenges that the charity is supporting children and their families to overcome.
The role is 3 days per week, term-time only. Initially for 1 year with the potential to be extended subject to funding. The role is hybrid working across partner schools and home. The salary is £28,500 FTE (£17,100 pro-rated).
