About EFA
English for Action provides free, participatory, and empowering English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes for migrants in London. Our classes are spaces to build community and support students to organise collectively around issues like employment and housing rights. Our work currently supports around 400 adult migrants across London. We’ve become a national centre of good practice for a radical participatory approach to ESOL, informed by the work of Paulo Freire, and we share this approach through training, research and partnerships.
Organisation: We are a staff team of 8 people supported by a larger team of volunteers and 9 trustees. EFA promotes shared leadership and collaboration and we aim for our organisational structure to reflect this. In the last 4 years we’ve transitioned away from having a CEO to an executive team to oversee operations and decision-making. As a charity, ultimate responsibility for, and control of, the organisation lies with the Board of Trustees.
Fundraising at EFA: We have one permanent fundraiser at EFA, who works two days per week on this area of work. The majority of EFA’s funding comes from charitable trusts and foundations but we are also funded directly by some of our partner institutions to provide courses for their members. We receive some local authority/EU funding as well. We raise additional funds through individual giving, corporate relationships and earned income. We are keen to explore new areas of fundraising and/or develop some of our less well established income streams.
EFA employee benefits include:
-
Pension scheme with employer matched contribution, currently at 6%.
-
Pay rises in line with inflation wherever possible (we have a flat pay structure).
-
Tech and cycle scheme.
-
Flexible working possible based on your needs.

Continuous Personal Development actively encouraged and training opportunities explored.

-
Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental leave pay.
-
Enhanced sick pay.

Where two or more candidates are judged to be of equal merit, priority may be given to a candidate who belongs to a less well-represented group.
