The Children 's Literacy Charity is a registered charity working alongside pupils who struggle to read and write. Our vision is to close the literacy gap for all disadvantaged children, enabling them to achieve their true potential.

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.
