About our Trust

The Charlie Waller Trust was created by the Waller family in 1997 in response to the loss of their son and brother Charlie who tragically died by suicide whilst suffering from depression.

We have since become one of the UK’s most respected mental health charities for children and young people. Our overarching mission is to educate those with responsibility for children and young people - parents and carers, teachers, college and university staff, and employers - about children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.

The Charlie Waller Trust is a great place to work. We care about mental health and wellbeing in our team and have a positive, enabling workplace culture. Our values drive our work:

• Warm: Positive personal connections are central to mental health; we aim to reflect that in all our relationships with beneficiaries, supporters, staff and volunteers.

• Empowering: We support all those we work with, and who work for us, to use their minds, hearts, energy and creativity to fulfil their potential.

• Collaborative: Partnership and cooperation are at the core of our work; we seek the views of those we wish to support and aim to put them at the centre of our activity.

• Compassionate: We recognise vulnerability in ourselves and others, especially where there is more than one reason people may be vulnerable to mental health problems, discrimination or inequality.

• Open: We believe in being honest about the way we work, our aspirations and where we need to improve; openness and good communication are key to good mental health.

Our Mission

We're Tutors United. We're on a mission to end the attainment and employability gap through the power of community-based tutoring. We support young people to thrive at two key transition points – from primary to secondary school, and from university to employment.

What We Do

Working with housing associations and other local partners, we run free tutoring programmes for primary school children and their families, providing access to vital educational support to those who need it most. We're proud to serve diverse, low-income, refugee, migrant, and multilingual communities across London, the Midlands, and the North West. We hire, train, and pay inspiring university students – most of whom also come from low-income households – as tutors, providing them with meaningful, paid work experience and wider support to boost their careers.

Each year, our work gives hundreds of young people, parents and carers the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to maximise education and employment opportunities. Now, we’re looking for an ambitious, highly organised and proactive person to join us as our new Programmes and Systems Coordinator!

Job Purpose

This is an exciting time to join our small and impactful team, as we embark on a new four-year strategy. In order to meet our ambitious growth goals while maintaining our signature bespoke and individual approach to parents, carers and tutors, we need to maximise our efficiency and automate as many of our systems and communications as possible. This role is critical to achieving our strategic objectives to reach more young people than ever before, sustain the quality and impact of our programmes as we grow, and strengthen TU’s operations, so all staff can thrive as we scale-up delivery of tuition hubs across existing and new areas.

This will involve working closely with Programme Officers and our Programme Coordinator in the setup and delivery of their programmes. You will be responsible for supporting pupil outreach and registration, managing parent communications, and ensuring effective monitoring and evaluation of our programmes through data gathering, organisation and analysis. In line with our goals to grow our reach from 700 to 1000 pupils per year, we need additional coordination capacity to maintain high quality delivery as we increase tuition hubs.

A core aspect of this role will be to support our SMT tech lead to deliver and embed vital systems transformation work over the next three years. This systems development is a business critical priority to underpin growth of our programmes, while maintaining strong relationships and engagement with families and tutors. As such, this role will be a tech advocate within TU, pushing the automation and continuous improvement of our key delivery systems both old and new, to increase efficiency and impact.

We are looking for a proactive and conscientious individual who is prepared to challenge themselves and their colleagues. You will need to be solutions-orientated, creative and comfortable communicating with people both internally and externally.

Message from the CEO

Dear candidate,

Thank you very much for your interest in the role. We are at an exciting inflection point as an organisation. Currently, we are a £6m T/O organisation with ~75 staff educating ~650 students and apprentices across our two campuses alongside a variety of short course activity. In recent years we have focused on putting the systems, processes and improved physical and digital infrastructure in place to allow us to scale our business model, and therefore our impact, rapidly.

Core to these solid foundations has been a significant improvement in our financial health in the past year following the successful completion of our capital projects and the residual impact of the covid-era falling away. With no debt, growing reserves and strengthened philanthropy relationships, we can be confident in investing in the right strategies for further growth.

To ensure we are pursuing the right strategies, we are embarking on the formulation of our new strategy for the next 5 years in Spring 2025. We will be bringing together the college's internal and external stakeholders, alongside pro bono support from Bain&Co., to set bold new goals for the next decade and a detailed roadmap for how we will meet them, specifically how we will dramatically increase the number of learners we educate and empower to become the next generation of diverse digital talent.

The Director of Finance and Operations is a pivotal role in the realisation of our renewed and heightened ambitions. Growth is only sustainable and successful when built on solid foundations and scalable infrastructure. Your role will be to ensure this is in place and continues to grow to meet our current and future needs . You will articulate the College’s financial and infrastructure development strategies in conjunction with our expert Governors and your senior leadership peers. You will then be responsible for the effective implementation of these strategies and the management of a high-performing team to execute on them in line with the College's 5 values: Collaboration, Creativity, Curiosity, Resilience and Rigour.

I hope this sounds like an exciting challenge. If it does, please read on and I very much look forward to reading your application.
