Demand for our specialist tutoring programmes for Children Looked After, those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) continues to increase and we are seeking a dedicated and effective Partnerships Account Manager to join our team and support the increased demand for our provision and the continued scaling of our organisation.

The Organisation

Equal Education is a social enterprise working to improve outcomes and narrow the attainment gap for disadvantaged and vulnerable learners, including Children Looked After, those with SEND, and unaccompanied asylum seeking children. We have over 13 years’ experience delivering 1:1 tuition, working with hundreds of Schools and Local Authority partners across the country, reaching hundreds of pupils annually. 

As a member of the Fair Education Alliance, we believe in providing meaningful educational provision to students whose needs may not be best met within a traditional classroom environment, those who aren’t currently accessing education, or who benefit from additional 1:1 support. We work with over 200 qualified teachers to provide academic, subject specialised and individual tutoring and mentoring for children of all ages. Tutors provide pastoral care and work with pupils to increase engagement and attainment. Our programmes will help the students to overcome barriers to learning, help them build trusted relationships, increase their aspirations, and fulfil their potential. We are passionate about our cause and are looking for people who are motivated by a strong desire to address educational inequality and improve outcomes.

Voscur is a co-founder and host of the BNSSG VCSE Alliance and plays a key leadership role through the Alliance Steering Group.

The VCSE Alliance is a collaborative network of VCSE organisations working across BNSSG. Its mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of people and communities by enabling the VCSE sector to influence decisions and work alongside the BNSSG Integrated Care System.

Launched in 2024, the Alliance has grown to include more than 200 participating organisations, with a wider reach of over 5,000 VCSE organisations across the region.

Funded by the Assura Community Foundation, this programme of work will build on the Alliance’s early successes by strengthening partnership working, developing evidence of the sector’s impact, and increasing VCSE engagement and influence across the health and care system.

ABOUT WORKING AT VOSCUR
Our strength is in bringing together people with a diversity of thought, experience, and backgrounds, who work together as an effective team. Who we are changes over time, but our culture remains open, positive, and collaborative.

We believe it's important to be empathetic and respectful in our work with colleagues, clients, partners, and the public. Our staff are engaged in and passionate about their communities, trusted and knowledgeable, and take the time to listen to and consider the perspectives of others.

The environment we work in is warm and welcoming. We have regular (optional!) social activities and celebrate our successes together.

Our main office space is in central Bristol, just on the corner of Queen Square - with easy access to the harbourside, the city centre, and public transport. Our staff also work flexibly across the city - with a regular presence at Knowle West Health Park, Easton Community Centre, and the Greenway Centre - as well as working from other community centres and operating flexible and hybrid working policies that allow staff to work from home when they need to.
