Action Tutoring is an Education charity that supports pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed in school.
We’re now looking for a part-time Programme Coordinator to join us on a fixed-term contract until 31st July 2021.

In the UK today, young people facing socio-economic disadvantage are less likely to achieve the grades they need to progress in life. This isn’t because they are any less able – it’s because they have less access to tools to support them to realise their potential.

We help to level the playing field by working in partnership with schools to deliver weekly tutoring in English or maths, to pupils who need it the most.

The Benefits

- Salary of £22,000 pro rata
- Travel expenses

As an Education charity, we understand the importance of providing learning and development opportunities for our staff. You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and full training and will have the chance to broaden your areas of responsibility as you grow alongside the organisation.

Our vision is a world in which no child’s life chances are limited by their socio-economic background. If you share our values and want to make a real difference to young people’s lives, we want to hear from you.

Your Role

As a Programme Coordinator, you’ll oversee the delivery of our tutoring programme in partner schools in Nottingham.

Overseeing a caseload of 3-4 schools, you will have the chance to increase your expertise in a number of areas, including stakeholder management (such as the senior leadership teams in schools), recruiting volunteers and the education sector.

To join us as a Programme Coordinator, you’ll need:

- The ability to work independently and use your initiative in a variety of situations

This is a part-time role, working 22.5 hours per week, across ideally Tuesday – Friday. However, it is very likely the role will move to a full time role in the near future, dependent on the outcome of the National Tutoring Programme.

This is a wide and varied role, the main purpose of which is to handle money on behalf of missionaries serving in the Arab World.  It would suit a committed Christian who would love to use their office and administrative skills in a team that seeks to help build the Kingdom by supporting those who work “full-time” in that challenging field.

Can you help us change lives?

We are looking for volunteers to join our board of trustees to help lead the charity and support the management team in developing our services and securing the vital resources we need to meet demand.

We seek four enthusiastic individuals who can spare a few hours a month alongside any existing role or commitments to make our board up to 15 people. Our aim is for a diverse board who represent our population and all those that use our services. No specific skills or experience required, but ideally applicants will live, study or work in or nearby the areas we service.  

Our board comes from many different backgrounds. What they all share is a passion for representing the local community and the diversity of clients who benefit from our free and impartial advice.

This is an unpaid role but all reasonable expenses are reimbursed. A role as trustee can provide you with a great deal of experience and satisfaction, the opportunity to develop your skills, and utilise any expertise and knowledge to benefit the local community.

“I really believe in the work we do as trustees - supporting and overseeing an organisation that truly makes a difference to local people's lives.” Linda, trustee

Who we are.

Citizens Advice is a network of 300 local independent charities, and Derbyshire Districts (covering residents of Amber Valley, Derbyshire Dales, Erewash and High Peak) is a well funded and high performing member with over 150 staff and volunteers.

Last year our advice helped people in crisis stay in work, prevented families being evicted from their homes, helped thousands of people tackle crippling debt and enabled people to access the welfare rights they are entitled to. In addition, we provide free advice on everything from neighbour disputes to consumer rights.

We know just how important our services are for local people, and this has never been more evident than now as we all strive to cope with the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

We would love to hear from you.

We welcome local applicants from any background who want to help us make a difference. If you have recent experience with fundraising, communications, HR or ICT we are particularly keen to hear from you.
