About Waverley Abbey Trust

We are at a critical moment in world history; a moment of profound spiritual, economic and social crisis in the UK and across the world – with opportunity for a radical, spiritual renewal. In the last half of 2022, CWR and 24-7 Prayer came together to create a new vision at Waverley Abbey for such a time of this.

The 112-acre Waverley Abbey Estate, located about an hour from London, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, has been a place of prayer since 688 AD and was the site of England’s first Cistercian Abbey.

CWR was founded by Selwyn Hughes with a simple vision of helping people to spend Every Day with Jesus – to pray and study the Bible every day. In 1985, CWR opened the Waverley Abbey Estate to establish a place of prayer, retreat and a Christian College to train and equip young leaders. 24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational movement of prayer, mission and justice. 24-7 Prayer exists to revive the Church and rewire the culture. Its resources help millions of people and its members from all over the world have been praying non-stop since 1999. 

With its remarkable history of thirteen centuries of prayer, its strategic location on the Prime Meridian, and its 30,000 sq. ft of accommodation, the partnership of CWR and 24-7 Prayer at Waverley Abbey represents a unique opportunity to establish a mission centre and a hub for spiritual and social transformation in the UK and globally. 

We are creating a new Abbey for a new generation. One that will champion encounter with God, through education, engagement and enterprise — for spiritual and cultural renewal for this generation and generations to come.

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 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. We have a brilliant Programme Officer position available for an ambitious, dedicated, and proactive person to join our team!

Job Purpose

This is an exciting time to join our small and impactful team, as we embark on a new four-year strategy, with goals to broaden and deepen our reach and impact, diversify our funding and delivery partnerships, and boost our programmes to support year 6 to 7 transition and tutor career development opportunities.

A major strategic priority is to grow geographically in Liverpool - which this role will play a pivotal role in achieving. Following the successful launch in January of our first ever face-to-face programme outside of London, in the Speke area of Liverpool, we hope to continue reaching more areas in Liverpool where there is great need and fostering new partnerships. We expanded beyond London during the pandemic with online tuition and have since grown across the Midlands and the North. This is our second dedicated role outside London, and the first in Liverpool. Working closely with our Manchester-based Head of Regions, you will help deliver contracts, build strong local relationships, and expand our reach in high-need areas.

The Programme Officer will be responsible for the management and overall delivery of their designated programmes. Over the next four years, we aim to scale our tutoring hubs to reach over 1,000 pupils per year in core cities and areas across England. This role will involve managing relationships with tutors, parents and clients, while collecting robust qualitative and quantitative data to measure the impact and build the success of our work. This is a critical role, leading on the delivery and evaluation of multiple programmes, managing key stakeholder relationships, and contributing to the development of our tutoring programmes in our newer delivery regions.

The Programme Officer will ensure high levels of quality assurance, particularly among tutors working in their hubs, so we achieve our intended outcomes. This is a multifaceted role, working across all parts of the organisation to ensure we deliver the best possible results for our pupils. You will have the chance to be creative in shaping and adapting our programmes to meet the specific needs of families in Liverpool City Region.

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about education, has strong stakeholder management skills and is familiar with the Liverpool area in particular but broader knowledge of North-West region is also beneficial. You should be able to adapt your communication style to effectively engage with clients, parents, tutors, pupils and funders alike, and have strong written and verbal presentation skills. You will bring brilliant project management skills and be comfortable working with data and using it to make informed decisions.

Location of candidate

Must be based in Liverpool.
