We are looking for a Storyteller to be part of the activities programme supporting the homeless and vulnerable in Reading.
The role will involve the telling and/or reading stories to our residents.
The role would be ideal for someone with a theatrical background, although this is by no means vital and we are open to applications from all walks of life.
