Wigan Bookstart Team is looking for two dedicated and
enthusiastic individuals to continue to provide a
first-class service to pre-school children and their
parents/carers across the borough.
Working with Sure Start Children’s Centres, libraries,
clinics and early years settings, the team works to
develop a love of books and reading, promoting the
message that sharing books is key to a child’s long term
development. The team also works with families in small
groups, providing an inclusive service that responds to
their needs.
You will be working with a wide range of people,
including children, parents/carers and other services
and agencies. You will be as confident reading aloud to
a group of children, as speaking to a group of adults,
and will be organised and self-motivated in your work.
We are looking for someone who has experience of working
with young children, and who is passionate about
reading. You will be proficient using Microsoft Office
packages, including Word and Excel, and a computer
qualification is desirable. Knowledge of Sure Start
services and libraries would be an advantage.
The post holder will be required to work flexibly,
including some evenings and weekends, and to travel
across the borough to carry out duties.
This post is subject to an enhanced disclosure check.
For an informal chat about the post, please contact
Wendy Froggatt on 01942 827507.
