Day-to-day operating brief

What Literacy Development Officer (Adult education) work looks like in practice

A Literacy Development Officer designs and coordinates reading, writing and digital-literacy support for adults through libraries and community partners. Terms should cover needs analysis, outreach, tutors or volunteers, accessible materials, referrals, grants, learner data, safeguarding, stigma and evaluation. The officer should not publicly label communities as deficient, promise qualification outcomes or collect personal histories beyond what programme delivery genuinely requires. Programme design should distinguish spoken confidence, reading, writing, numeracy-linked language and digital tasks instead of using one broad literacy label. Waiting lists, withdrawals and referral outcomes should be examined alongside attendance so reporting does not exclude adults who faced the greatest access barriers. Learner assessment should inform level, pace and format without turning informal support into an unnecessary diagnostic record. Progress evidence may include practical confidence and independent library use alongside accredited outcomes, where these match the programme brief.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Assess literacy needs and barriers.
Design programmes and resources.
Coordinate tutors volunteers and partners.
Manage learner access and referrals.
Evaluate outcomes and improve delivery.
