Hub Manager

Our Literacy Hubs are a ten-year, place-based response to the challenges of intergenerational low literacy, working with a range of partners to shape and deliver activity as part of a local strategy. Each Hub has a different approach to tackle low literacy based on the assets and needs in the area.

You will be responsible for leading, developing and delivering our South East Wales Hub, where we are developing a growing presence. You will build partnerships, develop and deliver projects, and support behaviour change campaigning activity, ensuring it is embedded within broader local priorities. Project delivery will be focused on Merthyr Tydfil, Newport and Cardiff, and involves building on partnerships and projects recently delivered these areas. You will also work to recruit new local partners, support evaluation activity, and represent the charity locally, including to project stakeholders and as a media spokesperson.

You will be based in South East Wales, working from home with regular travel across the three areas, as well as occasional national travel when necessary.

We empower people with the literacy skills they need to succeed in life. Together we're helping people change their stories. You could join us to lead our work in South East Wales., You will have excellent project management and communication skills, as well as experience of event planning and delivery. Good knowledge of at least one of Merthyr Tydfil, Newport or Cardiff is essential. Experience working in an education, community or library setting, or with early years settings, would be an advantage. You must be a Welsh speaker.

Due to the nature of delivery, you will need a full clean driving license and access to your own vehicle.

It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It's the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. It's better results at school, and better jobs. 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.
