Team Assistant Jobs in London

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 the Midlands and North West - which this role will play a pivotal role in achieving. Since expanding beyond London during the pandemic with online tuition, we have since grown across the Midlands and the North West region and are looking for a Programme Officer to support us in continuing fostering new partnerships and growing our geographic reach. 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.

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about education, has strong stakeholder management skills and a broader knowledge of communities in the 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.

Summary

Closed Church Buildings Case Officer

We are looking for a new colleague to join the dedicated team of professionals who advise on and play a key role in finding suitable new uses for church buildings that are no longer needed for regular public worship.

If you have professional qualifications in town planning, conservation or the built environment, and enjoy working creatively and strategically to solve complex challenges, we would love to hear from you. You can find out more about these opportunities at our webinar on Tuesday 11 March at 1:15pm. .

About the Role

Our Closed Churches Regional Case Officers work with Diocese to find suitable new uses for church buildings that are no longer needed for regular public worship. This is a legal process under the provisions of the Mission and Pastoral Measure (MPM).

The Case officers use their professional specialist skills and knowledge to creatively resolve the future of closed church buildings and navigate the legal processes necessary for achieving a new and sustainable use. This involves acting as a specialist resource to dioceses and other stakeholders (e.g. local planning authorities, Historic England, solicitors and prospective purchasers), facilitating the resolution of church closure cases and managing the legal and procedural aspects.

The current Regional Case Officer vacancy is for someone to be responsible for managing cases in the dioceses of Truro, Exeter, Bath & Wells, Bristol, Salisbury, Winchester, and Portsmouth (subject to change over time).

About the Department

The Commissioners' Closed Churches Team is regionally based, and works with Church of England dioceses to settle the future of closed church buildings. The team is part of the Cathedral and Church Buildings Department, a dedicated team of professionals who work with and advise parishes and dioceses on the care and conservation of church buildings, helping to manage the largest set of historic buildings in the country.

The Cathedral and Church Buildings Department supports the care and sustainable development of the Church of England's 42 cathedrals and 16,000 church buildings, of which 12,500 are listed, to help fulfil the vision and strategy of the Church of England. It also supports dioceses with the disposal of church buildings no longer required for worship and finding them a new future. Through advice, guidance, advocacy and fundraising, we provide strategic support on conservation and caring for historic church buildings, making changes to support worship and communities, and working towards Net Zero Carbon 2030. Members of the department engage with dioceses, parishes and cathedral teams, as well as nationally with government, agencies, charities, funders, General Synod and across the National Church Institutions to make the case for church buildings and their vital role in worship, community and our national life.

Key role requirements

We're looking for people with graduate or post graduate level planning or other built environment-related qualifications or accreditation (e.g. MRTPI, RIBA, RICS or IHBC), who have the ability to understand and explain complex legal documentation and processes, the ability to learn and navigate ecclesiastical legislation, to proactively drive forward casework, and to work with a range of stakeholders to find creative reuses for these important buildings.

You'll need strong communication and interpersonal skills, and be skilled in negotiating and influencing a wide range of stakeholders with diplomacy and tact in order to maintain positive relationships while balancing differing interests.

This interesting and varied role involves extensive travel within England with occasional overnight stay so a valid full UK driving licence is desirable. You'll operate from a regional base location within the Southwest/Central South of England, with the expectation to work from the base location between 1 - 3 days per week with flexibility.

We are also recruiting for Assistant Case Officers who work alongside the Regional Case Officers. They provide specialist administrative support to the case officers.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering impactful, multi-channel campaigns for a broad range of projects including the year-round programme of events at the recently opened Soane Stable Yard and across the site, working with our partners to promote the Chelsea Heritage Quarter, and further afield with the launch of our Veterans' Outreach programme. 

The Royal Hospital Chelsea has been the home of the iconic veterans of the British Army, the Chelsea Pensioners for more than 330 years. We offer excellent accommodation, comradeship and the highest standards of care in recognition of their loyal service to the nation. Any former soldier of the British Army over the age of 66, who is facing spending their advanced years alone, can apply for residence. About 300 army veterans live at the Hospital today, including those who have served in Korea, the Falkland Islands, Cyprus, Northern Ireland and World War II. Others may not have served in campaigns, but all understand what it means to be a soldier and the potential sacrifice that it entails.

The Royal Hospital is a Grade I and II listed site, a beautiful architectural legacy left to us by Charles II and Sir Christopher Wren. Maintenance of the site continues today with ongoing restoration work to ensure that this legacy lives on into the future.

Sutton Community Works (SCW) is a Christian charity in South London. Our vision is for our faith in action projects to contribute to a safe and flourishing community in Sutton.

Our work focuses on areas including food poverty, young people, rough sleepers and homelessness. In all our work, our ethos is to love God and others in all we do and say, ensuring people feel seen, heard, understood, and helped.

The Community Food Shop enables Sutton residents who are living with food insecurity to have weekly access to healthy and helpful food, with around 110 households visiting each week.

People visiting the shop come from a vast variety of backgrounds but all have faced difficult life experiences. Beyond food, we also want people to access support to improve their situation, so we pay Citizens Advice to come to the shop every week and provide advice on topics such as housing, debt and benefits.

And as a Christian project we underpin everything with prayer and actively offer prayer to our customers too. The community is real at the Food Shop, and the genuine care and compassion that our 40+ volunteers offer keeps people coming back and building trusting relationships with us.

As one customer said: "Thank you to all the volunteers for their love and support. Being able to feed my family with help from the Food Shop has changed my life."

As Community Food Shop Manager, you can use your leadership experience, excellent communication and organisational skills and Christian faith in a way that makes a real difference in people's lives.
