An exciting opportunity to be involved in the development of a growing adult literacy charity as it expands across London

One in 20 adults in the UK has never learnt to read at all, but it is never too late to learn. Read Easy UK is a volunteer organisation that delivers one-to-one reading coaching to adults aged from 18-88 through a network of affiliated, locally run volunteer groups.  

With its free, flexible, confidential approach, Read Easy encourages many people who are too embarrassed to join a class to come forward for one-to-one support. Each new reader is provided with their own personal Reading Coach, so that they can learn in private and at their own pace. Learning to read transforms their lives in many other ways as well, including enabling them to support their children’s and grandchildren’s reading, and so transfers the benefits to the next generation.

There are currently 80 affiliated Read Easy groups across England, together involving more than a thousand volunteers. Read Easy UK is the registered charity and umbrella organisation which supports this network of affiliated volunteer groups and provides the structure, training and support to enable volunteers to establish groups in new areas.

As our London Regional Adviser, your aim would be to find volunteers to ‘pioneer’ four new groups in London, and then provide them and our 15 existing groups in the city, with high-quality support. Your support will ensure that they provide the same for their volunteers and new Readers. From meeting with Team Leaders to provide one to one support, to delivering presentations and training for small groups of volunteers, this is a dynamic and rewarding role.

This is a part-time (18 hours per week) home-based post requiring flexibility, some early evening working and occasional travel to visit groups.

The successful candidate will have been employed to work with volunteers for at least two years; have strong people management and interpersonal skills; excellent communication skills; and the confidence to run meetings and deliver presentations.

Applicants must live within Greater London.

The Social Research Association (SRA) is an educational charity and membership  organisation for social researchers, dedicated to advancing excellence in social research across the UK.

We are entering a very exciting period of increased member engagement by expanding our member benefits, researcher community offerings which include mentoring, and the launch of a new digital community platform. To support these initiatives, we are looking for a Projects Officer to help implement new processes and improve engagement with our services.

The Administrative Assistant will provide essential support across multiple projects, including our new digital community platform, regional events, and board operations. This role is about keeping things organised, supporting smooth communication, and helping our members and partners engage with our services.

You should be comfortable using digital tools like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Content Management Systems (CMS) or online platforms as part of your work. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be confident in navigating systems, keeping records updated, and helping others with basic queries. Above all, you should be eager to learn and ask questions. We are keen you get as much out of the next 18 months as we will. This is a new role for us – so we're excited to explore and shape it together.

Key Responsibilities

As Administrative Assistant you will support the organisation by maintaining the digital community platform, assisting members with access, and ensuring content is well-organised and engaging. You will help plan and coordinate regional events, facilitate member engagement, and support outreach efforts. Additionally, you'll provide support to the CEO, maintain project documentation, assist with communications, and handle data entry. The role also includes coordinating board meetings, preparing and distributing papers, taking minutes, and providing administrative support to the Board Chair.

You can read more detail about the job responsibilities in the downloadable job description.

Who We’re Looking For

We know that great candidates don’t always meet 100% of the criteria. If you’re excited about this role, and keen to go on this exciting phase of our development, we encourage you to apply. The ideal candidate will have administrative experience, managing multiple tasks and meeting deadlines while supporting projects and coordinating tasks. They should be comfortable using digital tools like CRM or CMS platforms, handling scheduling and documentation, and communicating professionally across various channels. While not required, experience in a membership organisation, charity, or event coordination, as well as familiarity with data management, would be a desireable nice-to-have.

 Join our team: We're expanding our National Road Victim Service and need a dedicated caseworker to join our dynamic, compassionate team. Your role will involve delivering world-class support services to those at their most vulnerable.

 Specifically seeking candidates with:

- frontline support service experience

- a full, clean UK driving licence, access to your own transport and are willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses)

- experience supporting people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with those with heightened vulnerabilities.

Join our mission: Your greatest reward will be knowing you've made a positive difference in someone's recovery from psychological trauma.

Apply now: If you're up for a new challenge and have the skills, apply now.
