Together, we're helping people change their stories. You could join us to lead the delivery and development of our early years programmes. What you’ll be doing Supporting literacy in the early years is one of our key strategic priorities, ensuring every child starts school with language and communication skills ready to grow and learn at school. You will be responsible for leading the development and delivery of early years programmes to deliver impact at scale, and developing relationships with funders to ensure sustainability. The programmes you will work on include First Words Together, which aims to empower parents and carers with skills and resources to support their child’s early communication and language before the age of two. You will also manage a professional development programme for practitioners that combines dialogic reading of stories and dialogic interaction to improve language outcomes. You will manage team members delivering this activity and develop new ideas and approaches to support language and literacy in the early years. You will be contracted to our office in London, but this role is suitable for home and flexible working, with the majority of your work carried out from home if you would prefer. However, you will need to be available to travel to London for staff and team days, as well as to support project delivery and partnerships.

If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go. The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity helping people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days, to training, jobs and beyond. • We work collaboratively in local communities, focusing our work in 20 areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges., • We support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children., • We campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and decision-makers., • We support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their literacy skills.
