Reading is Caring Manager, Scottish Book Trust
Deadline: Wed 27 May 2026
Scottish Book Trust is a national charity that believes books, reading and writing have the power to change lives. We are seeking a change advocate with strong project development skills, a focus on funding for stability, and experience in commercialisation to manage our Reading is Caring programme.

Scottish Book Trust’s Reading is Caring (RiC) team delivers the Reading is Caring programme that is designed to train both professional and family carers in how to use shared reading techniques to improve the connection and enhance wellbeing with the person living with dementia.

Following a successful award of funding from the Dementia Resilient Communities Fund, Scottish Book Trust is looking to appoint a Reading is Caring Manager to continue the development of the programme over the next 12 months. Due to the limited nature of the funding, we are ideally looking for someone who can start this full-time position immediately to ensure delivery of the project goals within the funding time frame.

Salary: Grade 5, Starting salary £35,217 P.A.
Status: Full time (35 hours), fixed term contract for 12 months.
Location: Edinburgh City
