National charity, The Reading Agency bring reading to people of all ages and backgrounds, so everyone can read their way to a better life.

We work with skilled and confident adult readers but we have a special focus on less confident adult readers aged 16 and above. Reading Ahead and Quick Reads are the two programmes which are currently at the heart of this work.

We are looking for an ambitious and experienced strategic manager to take on the challenge of developing and leading a new adult reading offer for the organisation which has Reading Ahead and Quick Reads at its heart and which is designed to inspire people to develop their reading skills and become ambassadors for reading in their communities.
