About The Role

We’re looking for an Education Operations Manager — someone who brings warmth, professionalism, and clear-thinking to every part of our daily operations. You’ll oversee and support a small team responsible for customer service, tutor recruitment and development, and event coordination.

This is a varied, fast-paced, people-first role. It would suit someone from a customer service, HR, education, or operations background who is looking for more responsibility, ownership, and the opportunity to make a real difference in a small but growing organisation.

You’ll lead on improving how we do things — and help make sure our students and families continue to receive the excellent service we’re known for.

Your Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Management

• Support, guide, and supervise members of our tuition team.
• Lead on recruitment, onboarding, and performance development (both for staff and tutors).
• Shape and maintain team rotas and workflows to ensure smooth service delivery.
• Support company-wide initiatives and contribute to shaping business strategy.
  
  

Customer Service

• Oversee the end-to-end customer journey, ensuring smooth communication and service delivery.
• Handle escalated queries with clarity, empathy, and fairness.
• Lead improvements based on feedback and quality assurance.
  
  

Tutor Oversight

• Advertise, interview, and onboard new tutors.
• Design and deliver tutor induction and training materials.
• Monitor teaching quality and provide constructive feedback and support.
  
  

Events & Projects

• Oversee delivery of courses and seasonal events.
• Collaborate with marketing on promotional campaigns.
• Track trends and evaluate project success.
  
  

Process & Policy

• Collaborate across the business to design and improve internal systems.
• Maintain and update relevant company policies.
• Seek out time-saving and tech-driven improvements to day-to-day operations.
  
  

Who We’re Looking For

You might have worked in a school, HR team, customer service setting or educational organisation — but more importantly, you’re someone who:

• Is a clear and confident communicator — especially when things are complex or sensitive.
• Has strong organisational instincts and thrives when juggling multiple priorities.
• Can spot issues before they become problems — and work proactively to fix them.
• Enjoys working with people — from students to staff to parents.
• Is ready to take ownership, bring ideas, and help shape our future.
  
  

We’d Love It If You Also Have

• Familiarity with the UK school system or 11+ exams (but not essential).
• Experience supporting team development, training, or recruitment.
• A good grasp of tech (email systems, spreadsheets, online tools, CRMs).
• Experience improving or developing processes or policies.
• A current DBS certificate (or willingness to obtain one).
  
  

Working Hours

• Up to 40 hours per week, on a rota that includes weekday evenings and Saturdays.
• Centre hours are:
• Weekdays: 9.30am–8.00pm
• Saturdays: 9.30am–4.45pm
