Proactively monitor classroom adherence/fidelity to the Chapter One model, including systematic review of data reports and volunteer feedback, taking proactive action to resolve problems that arise. Analyse and manipulate data (largely in Google sheets) to produce reports and identify trends. Create regular data summaries for all participating classrooms. Lead annual review meetings for senior leadership at participating schools. Support programme monitoring, evaluation and research as required. Coordinate in person and virtual school visits of volunteer teams to classrooms where necessary. This may include opportunities for Chapter One children to visit the office of the volunteers. Liaison with corporate partners as required. Weekly communication and status updates with Senior Programme Manager(s) and wider team. As a new school year approaches, secure commitments from returning schools and help find and target new schools to join Chapter One s programme.

About Chapter One Chapter One is a dynamic, growing charity with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive. Our mission is to close the reading gap by providing children with one-to-one support at the time they need it most. We work in thirteen areas/regions of the UK and will support over 4,000 children in 2026-27. Our unique Online Reading Volunteer programme pairs struggling five to seven-year old (Y1-3) readers with reading support volunteers who are working professionals. The volunteer ask is very focused: readers commit 30 minutes a week to read with a child using a bespoke digital platform for an entire academic year. The results are transformative, boosting children's reading confidence and ability. From a school perspective, online reading volunteers provide direct, meaningful literacy support for up to 10 pupils per class. The programme is particularly suitable for communities where it might be challenging to find parents and other volunteers who can commit to physically visiting schools to boost reading.
