The Bibliotherapy Programme Manager will coordinate the day-to-day running of our bibliotherapy portfolio and support its ongoing development and expansion.
We’re looking for an organised, thoughtful, and reliable person who understands wellbeing and adult education and who enjoys developing projects, making sure all details are taken care of.
You will likely have experience in adult learning and professional training, and you’re very comfortable with programme management and project coordination. You don’t need to be an expert in bibliotherapy–you’ll work alongside experienced counsellors, psychotherapists, literary specialists, and other professionals.
If you're excited by the potential of bibliotherapy and think your skills could help us take the programme forward, we'd love to hear from you. Please read the full job description here.
