Our goal is for all adults in the UK to have the reading skills they need to fulfil their potential and live life to the full. There are 2.4 million adults in England alone – over 7% of the working age population – who can barely read or cannot read at all.
We offer free, one-to-one coaching to adults who want to learn to read via our trained volunteer Reading Coaches.
The Coordinator Supporter is the main point of contact on the Management Team for Coordinators. They play a crucial role in ensuring that the Coordinators feel well supported, so that they in turn can support Readers and Coaches. Your Coordinators help interview Reading Coaches, assess and enrol Readers before pairing them with trained coaches; then offer ongoing support to these Reading Pairs, visiting their reading sessions occasionally and maintaining support through regular calls with both Reader and Coach to check all is going well. They call on the group’s Literacy Specialist to respond to any literacy related difficulties a pair may be having. They also help run Coach meetings.
