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 Finance and Governance Officer!

Job Purpose

This is an exciting time to join our small and impactful team, as we embark on a new four-year strategy. To meet our ambitious growth goals while sustaining strong core operations and compliance with charity and company regulations, we need to increase support for the CEO and Senior Management Team (SMT) and bolster our financial and governance capacity. 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, diversify our funding and partnerships, and strengthen TU’s operations, so all staff can thrive as we scale-up delivery of tuition hubs across existing and new areas.

The Finance and Governance Officer will work closely with the CEO and COO to ensure the smooth running of TU, acting as the “glue” for the wider team and managing the day-to-day financial, governance and operational processes that are critical to high-quality delivery, compliance and impact.

The Finance and Governance Officer will provide robust and timely financial management support to the CEO, to ensure income is received and expenditure processed in line with our budgets. You will be responsible for processing incoming and outgoing payments within our bank and accountancy software, ensuring good records are kept, and liaising closely with our external accountants to deliver monthly accounts. You will support the CEO to tighten up our financial oversight, processes and compliance. You’ll also play a critical role in making sure our brilliant tutors and classroom assistants are paid each month, working with the wider team.

With an ambitious new strategy and an increased Board of trustees, a core aspect of this role will be to coordinate excellent governance support, to facilitate strong non-executive leadership and challenge as we grow. This role will be an advocate for governance and performance monitoring within TU, ensuring the team contributes to Board papers and KPIs, and supporting the CEO to meet governance deadlines. You will also pitch in with frontline programme delivery at pinch points during the year - such as helping with daily lesson support from 4-6pm, helping with our annual graduation event, or monitoring incoming enquiries.

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. If you are passionate about the development of young people, processes and performance, and want to see your ideas and skills come to life and underpin our growth strategy, you’ll love it here!

As a member of the senior leadership team, the Head of Marketing will have management and creative responsibility for marketing communications and promotion, including the mission and worship of the Abbey, installations, events and hospitality, proactively managing the Marketing and Commercial teams to deliver on our strategic plan.

Key responsibilities...

• To develop and deliver a strategic marketing plan for the next five years, and implement promotional activity to raise significantly the Abbey’s profile both regionally and nationally.
• To identify and market an annual programme of events and major installations which engage our town and region, driving footfall and engagement and delivering an excellent visitor experience.
• To lead an effective and motivated Marketing and Commercial Team, with the aim of doubling visitor numbers and commercial income within five years.
• To be a hands-on member of the team, working in partnership with colleagues, volunteers and members of the congregation for the flourishing of the Abbey as a spiritual, cultural and heritage resource to the town, region, nation and Church.

Message from the Vicar…

For over 900 years Tewkesbury Abbey has been at the heart of the community - as a place of gathering, worship, celebration and remembrance.  Down the centuries we have been a Benedictine Abbey, a parish church and a place of refuge in times of flood and war.

Today the Abbey is a thriving parish church with hundreds coming here to worship each week, drawn by our commitment to daily prayer and our traditional choral worship. We are a ‘Major Church’ within the Church of England, and we are larger than fourteen of our country’s cathedrals. We are also a venue for concerts, large civic events, fairs and festivals working in partnership with colleagues throughout the region, the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury Cultural Consortium and Gloucester Cathedral.

Like many heritage assets within the UK, COVID and lockdown presented us with serious challenges to our financial sustainability. We are now responding to those challenges with ambitious plans to double our visitor income and numbers within five years. These plans have been agreed and funded by our Parochial Church Council and are being overseen by our trading arm Tewkesbury Abbey Limited.

We applied for and won a £250,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which will among other projects increase our marketing activity and visitor engagement, including the appointment of a marketing assistant, a volunteers officer and a project manager to oversee the scoping of future capital development plans, and testing activities such as entry by donation.  We hope that this will lead to one or more larger-scale capital bids which could lead to a longer-term funding relationship to secure the Abbey as a thriving venue, unique heritage asset and global visitor destination.

In the past year we have hosted Luke Jerram’s ‘Gaia’ installation which was visited by over 20,000 people from across the region, the Luxmuralis immersive projection ‘Space’ and ‘The Longest Yarn’, a commemorative exhibition of knitted D-Day history, followed by Peter Walker’s ‘Peace Doves’ installation.  Alongside these we also hosted environmental events, a schools programme, concerts and talks in addition to our core business of of worship and festive services.

As Head of Marketing you will play a key role in shaping and delivering the future plans and development of the Abbey.  You will be in at the start and will oversee the growth of your team as we deliver on these plans - a unique opportunity for a creative marketing professional. The successful candidate will be a flexible team player who is looking for an exciting new challenge encompassing marketing, events, hospitality and commercial services and the opportunity to shape the next chapter in the life of the Abbey.

About Us 

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm.

When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met, and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health, and well-being both in and outside of work. 

We provide a wide range of benefits that will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to improve the lives of children every day.

Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (circa 4 days per month).  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. 

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
