Education Director

By working at TLG, you’ll be part of an organisation that has been recognised nationally as an exceptional place to work. In 2019, we were named the best charity to work for in the UK by the prestigious Sunday Times Best Not-for-Profit Organisations to Work For!

Transforming Lives for Good

TLG exists because we believe that every child deserves to be loved, feel safe and have an education. 

Every day, there are children across the UK that are facing difficult circumstances in their lives or tragic situations such as bereavement, family breakdown, poverty or being in the care system. We are passionate about bringing hope and a future to children and families with our partner churches across the UK.

We intervene at the crossroads to bring support, care and education to make sure that children have hope for the future and that their life is not over before it’s even started. This may be through a volunteer offering one to one help to act as a mentor, right through to intensive support of young people and their families that have been excluded from school.

An award-winning culture!
This special award highlights all the positives of working at TLG! We love to look after our team and here are some of the great benefits we offer:

• Fun team times away
• Retreat days for all staff
• Generous holidays & flexible working arrangements
• Access to 'The Leadership Track', our 11-month leadership programme led by TLG's core team
• Special recognition & benefits for staff to mark every 5 years at TLG
• Above & Beyond recognition scheme for high-performing staff
• Support for staff: counselling & coaching
• Contributions towards training & professional qualifications

And of course, you have the reward of seeing lives changed along the way!

What we look for:

We believe that we can grow and develop skills and potential in our staff, and so when we’re recruiting we’re more interested in your character, attitude and whether you can thrive in our culture.

We ALWAYS look for upbeat, enthusiastic & committed individuals, who work hard but also like to have fun, using common sense and initiative, and encouraging others. There are also things we NEVER want to see: a don’t care attitude, negativity, doing things for show, blaming others, and not taking responsibility.

Are you getting the idea of what it is that makes working for TLG so special? If you like the sound of this - then TLG could well be the place for you!
