About Roots Academy.
Roots Academy’s Vision.
A generation of young Muslims who embody and promote a God-centred way of life.
At Roots Academy, we’ve built a learning experience that’s changing the lives of the ummah’s future leaders, change-makers and visionaries. Our Mission is to deliver a structured and transformative education in the Essentials of Islam in a way that lowers barriers to access, develops a deep certainty, and inspires action.
Why Does Roots Academy Exist?
Crisis of Faith: 1 in 4 young Muslims are leaving the religion due to various factors, primarily the pervasive anti-religious content and temptations they encounter online and offline.
Roots Academy exists to bridge this gap by providing a structured and transformative Islamic education that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of young Muslims today, delivered in an engaging and accessible form that removes barriers to access and provokes thought and action.
Role Summary.
As a QA Reviewer at Roots Academy, you'll work closely with Regional Leads and the QA team to help maintain and raise the quality of teaching across our programmes. Your role is to support our instructors by regularly observing lessons, offering constructive feedback, and encouraging their continued growth and development.
Your input will help ensure that students benefit from lessons that are clear, engaging, and rooted in sound educational practice.
Key tasks

· Use standardised forms to assess lesson quality and highlight key strengths and areas that could be improved.
· Offer honest and practical feedback, using real examples to guide instructors toward better practice.
· Work alongside Regional Leads to deliver feedback at set points in the semester and support instructor development conversations.
· Attend feedback meetings and take notes to track progress and follow-up actions.
· Recommend helpful activities for instructors, such as shadowing experienced colleagues, team teaching, or reviewing their own lessons.
· Keep track of instructors needing additional support by scheduling follow-up visits or reviewing new lesson recordings.
· Make sure feedback is received, understood, and followed up with clear next steps.
· Raise any serious concerns or ongoing issues with the Regional Lead or relevant team members.
What we’re looking for
· Background in teaching, mentoring, or classroom observation.
· A supportive but honest approach to giving feedback.
· Good understanding of what makes a lesson effective and engaging.
· Confident communicator with good organisation skills.
· Able to work both independently and as part of a wider team.
· Respectful of diverse backgrounds and familiar with Islamic learning settings.
What we have to offer

Safeguarding
HTF is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants must disclose all previous convictions including spent convictions in accordance with the associated legislation. Trustees must not have any previous disqualifications or have been barred from undertaking activities involving children and young people.
The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provide that, when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers and, if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.
Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.
The Chair will be required to undergo safeguarding training in accordance with the Foundation’s Trustee training plan, which includes the EFL Trustee Safeguarding training.
Further information can be provided by the Foundation’s Safeguarding manager.

HTF is a diverse environment and an organisation which respects all characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. We want everyone to feel valued and included within the Foundation and to be able to achieve their full potential.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination and we are committed to the redress of any inequalities by taking positive action where appropriate.
