Volunteer manager jobs in Milton keynes

This is an exciting time to join YourStance as our impact and team grows. We’re looking for a driven and personable Partnerships and Impact Manager, someone who will be the connective tissue between our mission and the funders, organisations, and communities who help make it possible.

You will develop and manage a pipeline of grant and partnership opportunities, write compelling funding applications, and produce reports that bring our work to life. You’ll work closely with our founder, directors and communications team to amplify our reach, and ensure our story is told with the same energy and authenticity as the young people we serve.

We are looking for someone who is interested in working for a small organisation, who gets excited about mission-driven work, knows how to build and maintain long-term relationships, and can write a grant application that makes funders sit up and take notice.

About YourStance

YourStance began as an award-winning Community Interest Company, and we are now in
an exciting new chapter — having recently transitioned to a Community Interest
Organisation. We were founded to bridge the gap between healthcare and communities
disproportionately affected by violence. We deliver trauma-informed, life-saving emergency
response training — including bleed control, CPR, and psychological first aid — to young
people aged 11–25 who are vulnerable to violence, across London and beyond. Our
volunteer healthcare professionals bring the hospital into community spaces, schools, and
youth organisations, upskilling young people who are too often overlooked by mainstream
services.

We are a small, ambitious, and genuinely innovative team. We move fast, we care deeply,
and we are in the business of real change. If you want a role where your work has direct,
visible impact — this is it.

This is a new and exciting role at the heart of YourStance's growth.

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. 

About the opportunity

We are looking for a strong candidate with formal teaching qualifications and experience teaching core National Curriculum subjects to join our established Impact and Quality department as Curriculum and Quality Manager. This role has oversight for ensuring the creation and delivery of high-quality, tailored tutoring resources for pupils and tutors, and managing the quality assurance processes within our organisation. This role includes line managing a team composed of two Curriculum Leads. You will also work closely with colleagues in the Marketing and Communications Department to provide matrix project leadership for the delivery of Initial Tutor Training. 

To achieve this, we are looking for a candidate with experience teaching either English or maths (or equivalent) with a willingness to quickly understand the curriculum requirements in the other subject. You will have a strong understanding of how to set the standard for excellent tutor training and tutor quality assurance, using your educational expertise to shape effective training and quality assurance frameworks that enable tutors of varying experience levels to flourish. The position would suit someone who loves working in education, values pedagogical best practice, and thrives when balancing creative curriculum and quality development with operational realities. 

Comprehensive induction and training will be provided. Action Tutoring is committed to providing development opportunities for its staff, and as a growing charity there are plenty of opportunities to take on new areas of responsibility.
