- You’re confident managing a small caseload, using assessment and good judgement to understand needs, risks and progress over time.

You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.

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.

Just as we are all one in God, so we set out jointly to create a community of schools to give our pupils all they need to grow.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
The Opportunity
Engagement is becoming central to how school leaders think about improvement. The 2026 White Paper reframed it as a lead indicator of school improvement. Ofsted's new framework gives it weight. MAT CEOs and headteachers increasingly want termly data they can act on, and TEP is built to provide exactly that.
We have a strong foundation in the North of England, as a region with some of our founding partners, including Outwood Grange Academies Trust, The Education Alliance, BDAT and Pathfinder were among our Research in the Commission for Engagement and a Lead Indicator and we are proud to still have in our community. However, there is still substantial appetite across the North for TEP to give trust and school leaders precision they can act on. There is a pipeline of interested trusts. And there is real opportunity to shape a regional story (events, flagship partnerships, local authority engagement) that compounds as partnerships grow.
The Regional Director will own that opportunity and lead business development in the region. You'll be building on a proven product and a credible research base, and joining at the point where regional presence matters most. Early work will focus on opening new partnerships at trust level, stewarding a small number of strategic relationships with sector bodies and Teaching School Hubs, and establishing TEP as a trusted voice in the region.
What you'll inherit
-
A proven platform and service offer. Validated by 600+ UK schools, designed around the rhythms of the school year, supporting school leaders across the country.
-
Support from our Partnerships Director. Working closely with Jess Easton, Director of Partnerships and Insights, who is actively involved in regional strategy, as well as support from our Regional Director (Agnes Fitzpatrick) who works in the South of England.
-
Partnerships team support. A Marketing function, a Community team handling delivery, and colleagues across ImpactEd Group opening doors.
-
Early pipeline to build on. Warm conversations with trusts in the region, and a growing profile in the sector to build on.
-
Real commercial ambition. Clear termly targets, a performance-related pay structure, and the opportunity of employee shares through EMI.
-
A base in Leeds. A vibrant, accessible city-centre office two minutes from Leeds station, in the heart of the tech hub of the north.
The role
You'll lead TEP's growth and business development across the North of England: opening new partnerships with schools and trusts, stewarding strategic relationships with sector bodies, and shaping how TEP shows up in the region. You'll have real autonomy, backed by a Director who's hands-on with strategy, a growing marketing function, and the research weight of ImpactEd Group behind you.
There are three main areas of responsibility:
-
Winning new partnerships: Lead new business across the North of England, opening conversations with schools and trusts, converting them into partnerships, and delivering against termly targets.
-
Growing strategic partnerships: Steward the region's highest-value partnerships (typically Teaching School Hubs, sector bodies, or place-based local authority partnerships), leading the relationship and evidencing TEP's impact.
-
Contributing to TEP more broadly: Feed regional intelligence into TEP's business planning: where the growth is, where the risks are, and help embed scalable ways of working.
About you
We are open to a range of backgrounds, though it is likely the successful candidate will have significant experience working in or closely with schools and education, and experience in selling products or developing partnerships with school leaders. This role offers hybrid working, with 3 days per week in the office or on the road. You should be willing to travel across the North of England for partner meetings, conferences and events (approximately 50% of your time), with occasional UK-wide travel.
What you'll need
-
Experience working within or closely with UK schools, Local Authorities and multi-academy trusts, ideally with an existing network across Northern England
-
A demonstrable track record in partnership development, account management, or educational sales
-
Experience presenting to a senior education leaders (Headteachers, CEOs, Directors)
-
A strong understanding of school budgeting cycles and decision-making processes
-
Experience delivering presentations or public speaking.
What will set you apart
-
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to develop compelling value propositions
-
Entrepreneurial, pragmatic and solution-focused: you can think on your feet and adapt to change
-
Comfortable with targets while maintaining a relationship-focused approach
-

The National Literacy Trust exists to change that and your fundraising will be at the heart of making it happen.
We're looking for a Fundraising Manager, Trusts & Statutory to join our Development team and grow our income from charitable trusts and foundations. You'll manage a portfolio of high-value funders, craft compelling proposals, and forge the kind of long-term relationships that sustain our work in 22 of the UK's most under-resourced communities.

- Writing persuasive, evidence-rich funding applications and stewardship reports

- Contributing to income forecasting and budgeting for trustees
- Representing the charity at sector events and with external stakeholders
What we're looking for
- Significant experience securing and stewarding five and six-figure grants from charitable trusts and foundations
- Excellent written skills; you write proposals that inspire, not just inform
- Strong relationship management across a range of internal and external stakeholders
- Experience managing a funding pipeline with a CRM, and confident working to income targets
- Ability to juggle multiple deadlines without dropping quality
- A genuine commitment to social justice and the power of literacy
Why join us?
We are a rapidly growing organisation with 30 years' experience of changing lives through words. Our funders include the Arts Council, national government departments, and some of the UK's most respected foundations. You'll be joining a collaborative team where your work directly enables programmes in nurseries, schools, prisons and communities across the country.
We offer 39 days' annual leave (including bank holidays and Christmas closure), an 8% employer pension contribution, a flexible hybrid working policy, and a culture that genuinely values every member of the team.
