Young Giants is a holistic and inclusive term-time tuition and mentoring service, supporting children who are temporarily out of school (alternative provision) via daytime one-to-one tuition and mentoring in a child's home or venue within their community.
Founded and run by qualified teachers we are a managed education service (not a tuition agency), meaning we remain responsible for the management and quality of the education we provide. Working closely with our tutors and any multi-disciplinary team around the child, we assess and maintain effective and needs-based packages of education support.
Changing outcomes, changing lives by re-engaging children and young people with their education is the driving force behind our work and we pride ourselves on taking an extremely personalised and flexible approach for our learners. Building on our growing success, we are now seeking to recruit a similarly passionate, creative and proactive Education Programme Lead to manage a new client caseload of learners.
Young Giants is an incredibly positive place for both our learners and our staff, and we hold very high tutor retention rates. Our collaborative approach ensures tutors and in-house staff feel supported as part of a team and our learners feel heard. Our staff team reports high job satisfaction as we are able to bring a significant and positive impact in some extremely complex cases. In-house staff build strong and rewarding relationships with other professionals from across the fields of education, health and social care as well as with the families of our learners.
The role of Education Programme Lead involves providing education oversight of and responsibility for a caseload of learners pertaining to a particular client or group of clients (local authorities) – known as a ‘Tuition Pod’. The Education Programme Lead will ensure our clients and learners receive best-in-class service and that our tutors provide the level of quality required. The role is a combination of teaching oversight, customer service and personnel management and therefore requires a candidate with strong organisational and interpersonal skills in addition to previous experience in education. Many of the cases we support are extremely complex and as such the Education Programme Lead will have a strong ability to problem solve and manage difficult conversations. The Education Programme Lead will have one direct report, an Education Facilitator, who will arrange and support the day-to-day logistical operations of delivering tuition packages, monitoring and reporting attendance and holding tutors accountable for reporting deadlines. The Education Programme Lead will report to our COO and work closely with our Quality Assurance Lead. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic company and become a key part of its growth.
The Education Programme Lead will work remotely from home and as such, we do not require our applicants to be in a particular geographical location. There may be occasional day trips to London for Team Aways Days.
The salary reflects an allowance for the use of the employee’s home office and WiFi. All work will be conducted online and via phone - a company mobile phone and laptop will be provided.
