At the Adult Literacy Trust (ALT) we believe that literacy is a right, not a privilege, and we want everyone to have the chance to reap the benefits of this crucial life skill. We know how invaluable literacy is in changing learners’ lives, improving their life chances, employability, health and wellbeing.

ALT partners with adult education providers in some of London’s most deprived areas to offer our services to those who could benefit most from our support. Our approach is learner-led and focuses on helping adult learners to feel supported, empowered and confident in their literacy development. 

Founded in 2021, ALT is a young but ambitious charity and we’re looking for an organised, dedicated, and ambitious Recruitment Coordinator who will be at the very heart of delivering our growing service. As Recruitment Coordinator, you’ll coordinate our volunteer recruitment programme and steward applicants through our processes to become fully onboarded volunteers, ready to support adult learners.

Position: Recruitment Coordinator

Location: Remote/home-working with regular in-person work across London as required (varies according to time of year but an average of once per week, reasonable travel expenses covered)

Hours: 21 hours per week. Either three full days per week or four/five shorter days per week.

Contract: 1 year contractor position (subject to extension), £38,000pa pro rata (0.6 FTE)

Your primary responsibilities as Recruitment Coordinator

· You’ll be responsible for coordinating & implementing ALT’s volunteer recruitment programme

· You’ll work to ensure a robust pipeline of volunteer applicants to support our growing programme

· You’ll foster connections with community partners to ensure ALT’s volunteer opportunities are visible within the communities where we work

· You’ll be a welcoming and professional first point of contact for volunteer applicants

· You’ll support all volunteers through the application, training and onboarding process

· You’ll work to foster a strong and vibrant volunteer community, coordinating an annual calendar of volunteer events and leading the organisation of volunteer socials

· You’ll support with learner recruitment as needed

This role is for you if:

· You have a genuine passion for our mission, and want to help break the cycle of poor literacy

· You are warm, approachable, and eager to support volunteers and adult learners alike

· You are pro-active, responsive, and able to work under your own initiative

· You have experience of recruiting and coordinating volunteers

· You communicate clearly and concisely and can build rapport with people at all levels

· You are detail-orientated

· You are organised and can work independently to tight deadlines

· You want to join a small team and help grow the ALT programme as we expand across London

How to apply

If you would like to apply for this opportunity, please submit a CV and a Supporting Statement (of no more than one side of A4) demonstrating your suitability for the role and outlining why you would like to work for the Adult Literacy Trust.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 6th April. Candidates should be available for first round interviews on either the 15th or 17th April. We welcome candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds, and we are happy to make reasonable adjustments. If you need any support with your application, please contact our team. 

We pride ourselves on being a values-driven organisation, and we’re looking for a like-minded Volunteering Officer to join the team in this new role.

Blending people skills with administration, organisation with adaptability, assertiveness with a human touch, this varied role would be ideal for someone with an interest in criminal justice who communicates as well in person as they do online and in writing.

You don’t need to have had a role directly including managing volunteering, but transferable experience from another organisation that includes volunteers would be useful. Maybe you are an experienced volunteer looking to step into an employed position.

Research tells us that marginalised groups of people may not apply for jobs unless they meet 100% of the criteria. We also know that applicants come from many backgroundswith different experiences that might not seem “standard” – and that’s okay! We value people who bring unique perspectives and knowledge to our team.

You might not feel like you check all the boxes as you read this job pack. That could be because of impostor syndrome or a confidence gap, especially if you’ve been marginalised or excluded in the past. But we hope you’ll apply anyway because what’s most important to us is having shared values and attitudes to work – the rest we can work on through our culture of feedback and development.
