Reader in Residence – The Reader (Lancashire), closes 10 Jan

This role requires a love of great literature and a drive to break down barriers to help others experience its power. At The Reader, we call this ‘Shared Reading’. Shared Reading is a tool through which human life can be explored safely and – crucially – deeply.

Shared Reading is a group of people, one of them a trained Reader Leader, reads a great novel, short story or poem aloud. They stop and talk about what has been read.

The idea is to create a space where people feel at ease. Reading the literature aloud in real-time, means that everyone is involved in a shared, live experience. They want to grow their Shared Reading movement in the criminal justice sector so more people in this system get access to this experience – could you join them to be part of this?

Following training, the post holder will lead and support the delivery of regular Shared Reading groups with individuals progressing through the justice system. This will involve engaging with those who don’t feel such groups are for them, and embedding Shared Reading as part of the setting’s weekly schedule of activities.

The role is as part of their Criminal Justice Team, working in different settings across the UK and delivering our HMPPS contract for the enrichment programme for a nationwide body of Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) as part of the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway.
