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.

-
Full entitlement to days off for sickness (including mental ill-health), compassionate leave, bereavement leave, and parental leave.
-
Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental leave pay.
-
Enhanced sick pay.
-
Collaborative decision making on organisational strategy and practice.
-
Working within an organisation that makes a huge difference in communities across London and the UK.
Equal opportunities
EFA strives to apply equal opportunities principles both in its recruitment and in its work. We oppose all forms of unlawful or lawful discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, gender, sexuality, marital status, religion, age or disability.
The successful candidate will be selected purely on the basis of how well they fit the person specification, as judged by their application materials and their interview.
We would particularly like to encourage applications from people of colour / black or brown people, who are currently underrepresented in EFA (as well as the non-profit sector as a whole). As an organisation which works with migrant ESOL learners, we also particularly welcome applications from people who have experienced moving to the UK, people who have learnt ESOL before and people who have English as an additional language.
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.
Learning language, making change - supporting migrant communities to learn English and take action for equality and social justice.
