At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Tutor & Activities Coordinator to play a pivotal role in our Age Activity Service in Wandsworth.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

Hestia's Age Activity Centre (AAC) is a lively, open‑access day centre supporting Wandsworth residents aged 60 and over to stay active, independent and socially connected. The service offers a wide range of activities including IT classes, wellbeing sessions, social events and occasional day trips, all designed to reduce isolation, promote community, and help older people maintain their health and independence for as long as possible. Alongside this, the AAC plays a key role in fostering friendships, building confidence and creating a welcoming space where older people can thrive.

This role supports both the AAC and the Hestia Recovery Café, contributing to the smooth running of daily learning and development activities. It involves leading and overseeing adult learning classes, supporting volunteer and pool worker recruitment, and managing essential resources and administrative tasks. The postholder will help ensure high‑quality, engaging sessions while maintaining an organised, inclusive environment that empowers older people and enhances their overall wellbeing.

You are confident facilitating learning and development activities, group work or support groups, and you are able to engage with individuals who may display a range of emotions or behaviours that can sometimes feel challenging.

You communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, and you can accurately receive, process and record detailed information while maintaining confidentiality. You are IT‑literate, comfortable using Microsoft Office and able to learn new systems or apps. You bring strong time‑management skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. You liaise confidently with colleagues and external partners, represent Hestia positively, take a solution‑focused approach to problem‑solving, and can identify and report any health and safety concerns within a day‑centre environment.

Help young people build confidence, resilience and brighter futures through sport and mentoring.

 Looking for a role where you can make a real difference?

Maybe you're studying Sports Coaching, Sport & Exercise Science, Youth Work, Education or Psychology.

You're a Teaching Assistant, Learning Mentor, Sports Coach, Support Worker or Youth Worker looking for your next step.

Or perhaps you love working with young people but want something more stable, rewarding and meaningful than evening and weekend coaching.

At Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we support young people who are at risk of exclusion from education. Using sport as a hook and positive relationships as the foundation, we help young people build confidence, resilience, aspirations and life skills that can transform their futures.

You don't need to be a rugby expert. What matters is your ability to connect with young people, inspire them and help them believe in themselves.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

__________________________

The Role at a Glance

• Sports Coach / Youth Mentor (we call it Delivery Lead)
• Hastings & Bexhill
• £18,750 - £22,500 per annum (pro rata), based on a full-time equivalent of £25,000 - £30,000
• Part time 28 hours per week (full-time 37.5 hours)

What you’ll be doing

Every young person deserves someone who believes in them.

As a Sports coach & youth mentor, you'll play a vital role in that journey. Alongside your coaching partner, you'll deliver engaging sports sessions, mentoring and workshops that inspire young people, build trust and help them realise their potential. Whether you're supporting a young person one-to-one, leading a group activity or helping deliver enrichment events, you'll be creating opportunities for young people to succeed.

This is more than a coaching role. It's an opportunity to be a positive role model, build meaningful relationships and make a lasting difference in the lives of young people across Hastings & Bexhill.

You do not need to know rugby to apply. The rugby side can be taught, and plenty of people in the team started with youth work or mentoring experience rather than a sports coaching background.

Day to day, you’ll work with schools, alternative provision teams and community partners to keep sessions safe, productive and well-organised. You’ll also support holiday activities, career taster days and enrichment trips, giving young people positive things to be part of outside school.

There will be some admin too, including tracking attendance, progress and outcomes. This helps the team see what is working and keep support consistent for the young people taking part.

If you're passionate about helping young people thrive, we'd love to hear from you.

You're probably a great fit if...

You believe every young person deserves someone in their corner.

Whether you've coached a team, supported students in school, mentored young people, or led activities in your community, you know how to build trust, inspire confidence and help young people see what's possible.

We're looking for someone who brings energy, empathy and resilience; someone who can connect with young people facing challenges, lead engaging sessions, and be a positive role model when it matters most.

If you're passionate about changing lives, confident working independently, and excited by the chance to make a real impact every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll need

• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• The ability to travel across Hastings & Bexhill
• Flexibility to work up to three evenings per week (until 7pm)

Bonus points if you have...

• A qualification in Sports Coaching, Youth Work or a related field
• Experience working in schools, alternative provision or community settings

This is your chance to help young people realise their potential.

More About Us

 At Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we support young people 12-18 who have been excluded from education or at risk of exclusion. Using sport as the starting point and mentoring as the foundation, we help them build confidence, resilience and the skills they need to create brighter futures.  Rugby helps start the relationship, but the work goes far beyond sport. The charity uses mentoring, life skills, wellbeing support and career-focused activities to help young people build confidence and prepare for life after school.

Our work focuses on four areas: life skills, raising aspirations, physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing and the aim is to make sure exclusion from school does not become exclusion from society. You’ll be part of a team giving young people consistent support, trusted adults and practical chances to move towards education, employment or training.

This is a role where your work will have a direct and visible impact. You might be supporting someone experiencing emotional distress, helping coordinate a support group, assisting people to access the right help, or contributing to community activities that increase awareness and understanding of suicide prevention.

About Hector's House

Hector's House was founded in 2016 by the family and friends of Hector Stringer, who died by suicide aged 18.

Today, we are a trusted local charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting people affected by suicide across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire

Everything we do is rooted in our local communities. We are supported by local people, businesses, schools, community groups and volunteers who share our belief that suicide is preventable and that nobody should face difficult times alone.

Last year we reached more than 2,500 people through our awareness, education and support services.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple message: there is hope.

The Role

Working closely with our Support Lead, you will play a central role in delivering support to people experiencing emotional distress, those at risk of suicide, and people affected by suicide.

You will help coordinate and deliver one-to-one and group support, respond to enquiries, maintain accurate records, liaise with partner organisations, and contribute to the continued development of our services.

As a new role within the charity, this is an opportunity to help shape how support is delivered in the future.

About Working Here

We're a small team by design, which means everyone has a voice and everyone contributes. We work collaboratively, support one another and share a commitment to making the greatest possible difference for the people and communities we serve.

You'll have the opportunity to take ownership, contribute ideas, develop new approaches and help shape the future of our services.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience supporting people who may be distressed, vulnerable or facing difficult circumstances.
• Communicates with warmth, empathy and professionalism.
• Can remain calm when situations are challenging.
• Understands the importance of safeguarding, confidentiality and professional boundaries.
• Is organised and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Can work independently while also being part of a close-knit team.
• Shares our values and commitment to supporting local communities.

Experience in suicide prevention, crisis support or the voluntary sector would be welcomed, but is not essential.

This is a hybrid role, by which we mean that whilst you will be home-based, we meet regularly as a team face to face in and around the Tring area, and our education and support work is often face to face in the same area, and several times in a week.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to:

• Make a genuine difference to people's lives every day.
• Join a respected and growing local charity.
• Work in a supportive, passionate and ambitious team.
• Help shape and develop a growing service.
• Build strong relationships across local communities.
• Develop your skills and experience in suicide prevention and mental health support.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a meaningful difference in your local communities, work alongside passionate colleagues and help shape the future of an ambitious organisation, we'd love to hear from you.

About Quest for Learning

Quest for Learning is an education charity working to close the gap for primary school children in Oxfordshire who are falling behind due to disadvantage.

We work closely with schools to deliver targeted, evidence-led literacy and numeracy programmes that help children build the skills, confidence and foundations they need to thrive. Many of the children we support are growing up in poverty, facing barriers linked to low family literacy, unmet additional needs, unstable home circumstances, or limited access to wider opportunities.

Our programmes are delivered by experienced professional tutors and are built around structured interventions, strong school partnerships and measurable outcomes. On average, pupils supported through our small-group tutoring make around 13 months of progress in just 10 hours of support.

Quest for Learning is entering an important new stage of development. Following a period of organisational growth and strategic transition, we are investing in building a more sustainable and ambitious fundraising function that can deepen our impact and reach more children across Oxfordshire.

This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping that journey.

Why join us?

This is a rare opportunity to join a small but ambitious charity at a genuinely exciting stage of development.

You’ll have:

• Real ownership and autonomy within your role
• The opportunity to help shape and build a growing fundraising function
• Close working relationships with the CEO and leadership team
• Flexibility and hybrid working arrangements
• The chance to make a direct and measurable difference to children facing disadvantage
• Opportunities for progression as the organisation grows

We are intentionally investing in fundraising and organisational growth, and this role offers the opportunity to help shape a developing fundraising function within an ambitious, evidence-led charity with strong foundations and significant future potential.

We are a collaborative, supportive and purpose-driven team that values initiative, professionalism, creativity and compassion.

Role purpose

We are seeking a proactive, highly organised and motivated fundraiser to lead and grow our trusts and grants fundraising activity.

This role will focus primarily on identifying funding opportunities, developing compelling applications, managing funder relationships and building a strong pipeline of income to support Quest for Learning’s future growth.

The successful candidate will play a key role in helping us develop a more strategic and sustainable fundraising approach. We are looking for someone who can combine strong written communication and attention to detail with initiative, pace and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.

This role would suit someone with existing trusts fundraising experience, or someone with highly transferable skills who can learn quickly and thrive in a fast-moving environment.

You will work closely with the CEO, programme staff and trustees, with access to strong impact data, established programmes and a compelling case for support.

Alongside this role, Quest for Learning is also exploring the development of an additional partnerships-focused fundraising role. We are open-minded about how responsibilities are ultimately structured and welcome applications from candidates with a range of backgrounds, experiences and strengths.

• Understanding of monitoring, evaluation and impact reporting
• Experience within education, children’s services or related sectors
• Knowledge of the Oxfordshire funding landscape
• Experience working within a small charity or growing organisation
