About Us

Action Tutoring is an education charity that supports pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed in school.

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.

We’re currently looking for an HR and Safeguarding Manager to join us on a 12 month contract that has the potential to become a permanent position.

- Recognition schemes to celebrate staff who go above and beyond
- Team away days with regular training opportunities

This is a superb time to join us at a key stage in our evolution. We’re supporting the delivery of the National Tutoring Programme, which will provide catch-up support to pupils whose education has been impacted by COVID-19. It’s vital that we’re able to grow and expand our resources so we can support every pupil in need – that’s where you come in. 

You will have the opportunity to play an integral part in helping us build a strong team and culture that is fit for growth. As this is a new position in our organisation, you will have the chance to really make the role your own. 

We’ll provide you with a comprehensive induction and training to ensure you succeed as part of the Action Tutoring team. We’re committed to providing development opportunities for staff, so you will be supported to challenge yourself and take on new areas of responsibility. 

The Role

As the HR and Safeguarding Manager, you will help us to build a strong culture of equality, diversity and inclusion and drive forward our work in these areas. 

This is a varied role that will cover HR, safeguarding, recruitment, learning and development and strategy and leadership. You’ll benefit from an interesting workload, including providing advice to line managers, hiring the best people for our team and driving forward diversity initiatives, such as our Black Lives Matter work.
