Then come and join St Giles as a Team Leader to join their County Lines team, where you will play a pivotal role on our pioneering project.

About St Giles 

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others. 

County Lines is a phenomenon in which criminal drug dealing operations are expanding their operations outside of the larger cities, taking over drug markets in smaller towns.

Ensuring that staff produce risk management plans based on assessments and promoting inter-agency collaboration in the assessment and planning process are also key elements of the role. 

What we are looking for:

• The ability to provide support, supervision and coaching to staff, including the capacity to successfully manage personnel and disciplinary issues

• Strong interpersonal, relationship-building and negotiating qualities

• Experience of working with vulnerable young people and adults

• The ability to work with people who have multiple and complex needs

• Experience of setting up and operating systems to monitor and report on work with clients

• Project management experience, including coordinating activity and liaison with a range of stakeholders 

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, season ticket loan and much more.

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 now looking for a part-time Programme Co-ordinator to join us on a fixed-term contract until the 31st July 2021.

- Ensuring our volunteer tutors are delivering a high-quality service to pupils
- Overseeing our volunteer tutor sign-up process
- Assigning tutors to suitable pupils

The closing date for applications is the 20th July 2020. Online interviews will take place on the 23rd or 24th July 2020.
