Here at The Queen’s Reading Room we are seeking a talented and experienced Operations Director to report directly to our CEO.

• Confidence and willingness to take the lead on projects, such as our first audit and annual report

• Resilience and focus, undaunted by the challenges that charities face, including on budget and fundraising 

• Confidentiality and discretion

• Energy!

The role is home-based, with regular video meetings and occasional meetings in London (infrequently around the UK). 

The salary is available upon request.

If you think you could be a great fit in our small but expanding charity, please submit your CV and a cover letter of no more than 500 words by midnight on the 1st August. In your covering letter you should include:
