Operations Team

Joining Action Tutoring is a dream job of mine as I have previously studied it as part of my MSc as far back as 2018 and have since supported it personally. I love Action Tutoring’s commitment to measuring its impact and am proud to work for somewhere that seeks to support disadvantaged young people to achieve academically. The culture here at Action Tutoring is kind, hardworking, supportive and solution focused, and everyone is always willing to take time out of their busy schedules to help others. Many organisations say they live their values, but  Action Tutoring really does.

I enjoy the variety of my role and that no two days (or even hours!) are the same.

What I like most about AT is the “can do” mentality and adjusting our procedures and delivery so that we can support our pupils as best we can. It’s about teamwork!

In my role I have the privilege of working closely with all departments and bringing the team together. I love the feeling you get when you complete an HR project and that the outcome really benefits the team because of the close collaboration.

As a non-native English speaker, I love the proofreading team. It’s the first time I’ve worked in a place where this exists. It gives me confidence in my communications and I feel less pressured by the need to have perfect written communication in order to be successful.

Action Tutoring is unique in the supportive culture it creates and I enjoy working alongside so many talented and passionate colleagues. Everyone is committed to delivering the best for our pupils!

My role as Operations Manager allows me to get involved in so many varied tasks including recruitment and resource provision, as well as developing key skills like project management.

The three days winter office closure allows me to spend time with my family over the winter period without needing to use my annual leave. It’s an incredibly generous part of the many benefits Action Tutoring has on offer!

I enjoy the working environment at Action Tutoring. The team are supportive, positive, and passionate about the organisation’s mission, and there are opportunities to work across departments should you wish. There are also wellbeing initiatives in place to support us and our mental health.

I was a maths tutor for with Action Tutoring for 18 months prior to working here. I got to know the organisation more in that time and learnt it was the right fit for me.

I truly value the supportive and collaborative working culture at Action Tutoring. It’s amazing to work in an environment where everyone wants to support each other and has options to collaborate across so many teams. It’s been great to work with so many like-minded people who are committed to working towards our mission of reducing the attainment gap. It’s a place where everyone is dedicated to making a difference, which makes it such an inspiring and enjoyable workplace.

I love how varied the role is and how I get to collaborate with so many parts of the wider team! I really enjoy getting involved in tasks to support different departments, while also serving as a key point of contact for our volunteers and stakeholders.

I’m excited to watch Action Tutoring’s growth over the next year as we embark on the EEF trial. I’m eager to see the new schools we partner with and the opportunity to support even more young people, all while staying focused on our mission to close the attainment gap.

I really value that AT offer the option to join working groups. It gives a unique chance to collaborate with colleagues across the organisation, whilst being able to learn and develop across a certain area of interest. It’s a great way to broaden my knowledge and skill set.

I have received a warm welcome from the team. There are so many opportunities to connect with others during the working day – just what you need when it’s been so gloomy outside lately!

I love engaging with people from different walks of life. One of the best things about Action Tutoring is that is attracts a vast range of tutors. Learning about their backgrounds and stories of why they decided to volunteer with Action Tutoring is one of the best parts of my week!

I am so pleased that Action Tutoring offers flexitime and the 3 days off in winter. This makes life as a working mum so much easier and it’s lovely to see that Action Tutoring recognises that.
