About Action Tutoring
At Action Tutoring, we believe every child should be given the opportunity to succeed in school. But in the UK today, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to 

achieve the grades they need to progress in life. This isn't because they are any less able; they have less access to the tools to help them reach their potential. 
 

We don't think this is fair. We know tutoring is an effective way of improving academic attainment and so we harness the power of volunteer tutors to bridge the gap and ensure this help can be accessed by every pupil who needs it, not just those who can afford it. 
 

We specifically help pupils facing socio-economic disadvantage and who are at risk of leaving primary or secondary school without reaching national standards in their exams. We work in partnership with schools in different cities and regions across the UK, delivering weekly tutoring in English or maths to those pupils who need it most.

A critical strategic role, they are a hands-on financial leader that brings strategic insight and challenge. Passionate about our mission, they lead a small team and use their experience and expertise to make our strategy a practical reality.

You will provide day‑to‑day operational coordination across IT systems, office management, finance administration and HR processes, alongside varied administrative support.

About you

The role is ideal for someone who is adaptable, organised and enjoys problem‑solving and improving systems. You’ll be comfortable juggling multiple priorities, communicating clearly with people with different levels of technical knowledge, and working independently while staying connected to a small team.

This is a varied role and we don’t expect you to already be an expert in all of the responsibility areas. We welcome applicants with different strengths and backgrounds and there is plenty of scope to learn and develop in the role. We’ll support you to do this through supportive line-management, development opportunities and training where needed.

Although solid IT skills and knowledge are essential, this is not a technical specialist role - the emphasis is on coordination and oversight, liaising between colleagues, external advisors and technical support, and following issues and projects through to completion.
