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.

The Advocacy Academy is an activist youth movement. We serve as the political home for grassroots youth organising and the catalyst for collective action. The lives of the young people we work alongside have been directly shaped by living in an unjust world, and we exist to turn their anger into action.​​

Young people are often the catalysts for major social change, from the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, to the Soweto Uprising mobilising young people to resist the apartheid regime's education policies, to the Sunrise Movement redrawing the electoral map across America, and more recently encampments and protests across the world protesting the genocide in Palestine. How successfully they achieve real and lasting change depends on whether they are organised and whether they have the right strategy and tactics to be effective.​

We are now looking for a Head of Spacemaking & Operations who believes in this vision and can ensure that TAA’s Liberation Centre is safe, fully operational, and intentionally designed as a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive environment. This role bridges operational delivery and spatial experience, ensuring that the Centre not only functions effectively behind the scenes, but also reflects TAA’s values in how people experience, move through, and use the space. You will combine operational oversight, facilities management, and space experience design, working across teams to ensure the Centre is safe, compliant, efficient, accessible and welcoming for staff, young people, and the wider community. 

Before you skim the job description, please remember you don’t have to tick all the boxes to apply. We all experience a bit of imposter syndrome, including staff here at The Advocacy Academy. If this role pulls you in and you believe you could make a meaningful difference, we encourage you to apply or reach out to us to discuss further. We are especially interested in people who bring lived experiences, perspectives, and ways of working.​​

About EJF

The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) exists to protect the natural world and uphold our fundamental human right to a secure environment. We work at the frontlines of environmental injustice, alongside communities most affected by climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, and exploitation - transforming evidence into action, and injustice into lasting change.

EJF is a global non-profit driven by a powerful belief: that environmental protection and human rights are inseparable. Through courageous field investigations, rigorous research, and strategic international advocacy, we expose environmental crime, challenge impunity, and catalyse systemic reform. Our work delivers real-world impact, shaping policy, strengthening governance, protecting vital ecosystems, and defending those who risk their lives to safeguard them.

From illegal fishing and forced labour to deforestation, land grabs, and climate displacement, we confront some of the most complex and urgent crises of our time - always with a focus on accountability, equity, and durable solutions.

EJF is an international organisation with a diverse team working across four continents, united by a shared ambition: to protect people by protecting the planet.

• Fluency in English.

Desirable skills and experience

• Experience working across more than one operational discipline (HR, IT, facilities, finance).

• Professional-level French, German or Spanish.

• Experience working in a non-profit, international NGO or other mission-driven organisation.

Doing Good Recruitment is proud to be partnering with Cornerstone Place on the appointment of a Project Delivery Manager.

At Cornerstone Place, we are seeking an exceptional Project Delivery Manager to join our high‑performing, mission‑driven team at a pivotal moment in our journey. This role will play a critical part in delivering our Impact First Social Housing® projects, creating safe, stable homes for people who need them most, keeping the assets in the hands of the impact makers.

The position is offered on a permanent basis, with flexible remote working and regular national travel to project sites across England.

Who We Are

Cornerstone Place is a multi‑award‑winning social enterprise with a bold ambition to create 100,000 high‑quality social homes by 2034. We exist because the current system is failing too many people: over a million households are waiting for social housing, the country spends £2.2 billion every year on poor‑quality temporary accommodation including, tragically, for over 175,000 children, and families are growing up without stability or security.

We are not a developer seeking margin. We deliver 100% social housing, 0% profit, working with local authorities, registered providers and charities to ensure homes remain in long‑term community ownership. As we enter our next phase of growth, this role will be instrumental in turning bold ambition into lived reality for thousands of people.

The Role

Working closely with our Co‑Founders and partners, you will help deliver complex projects to the highest standards, contribute to the evolution of our systems and processes, and ensure every decision is grounded in impact, quality and long‑term social value. You will translate strategy into delivery, confront challenges honestly, and help drive forward an organisation recognised as one of the UK’s most influential social enterprises; named on the NatWest SE100 list for two years running, with our Co-Founders honoured on the SE100 Pioneers list as leaders shaping the future of the sector.

Day to day, you will take ownership of multiple live projects at varying stages, from pre‑application engagement and support through the planning process, to end‑to‑end delivery, working closely with clients, design teams and professional consultants throughout. You will be responsible for managing consultants, budgets, programmes, on‑site delivery, safety compliance, stakeholder communication, team coordination, and clear reporting to senior leaders and clients.

About You

You will bring accomplished project management skills, experience in housing or construction environments, and a proven ability to lead partners and manage stakeholders with confidence. Highly organised and detail‑driven, you combine strong problem‑solving, decision‑making, communication and negotiation skills with a track record of delivery. You will also be comfortable working across multiple IT systems and curious about how AI can enhance project management, streamline processes and strengthen outcomes. While not essential, MRICS accreditation or a BSc in Construction Management would be beneficial.

We are deliberately open about who this role could be for. You may be an experienced professional with strong sector credibility, ready to apply your expertise where it can have generational impact. Or you may be earlier in your career, with the capability, values and drive to grow quickly in a mission‑led environment. What matters most is your commitment to excellence, your comfort with responsibility, and your belief that housing is one of the defining social challenges of our time and that you want to be part of solving it.

Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Cornerstone Place is committed to equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community, regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality or socio‑economic background. We recognise that no candidate meets every criterion, and we encourage applications from those who meet most requirements and are motivated by our mission
