Action Foundation Overview
Action Foundation was established in 2005 to assist asylum seekers, refugees, and other migrants in Tyne and Wear. We aim to empower refugees, asylum seekers, and other migrants to live independently through a commitment to supporting them to achieve self-sufficiency and integration into the community.
About the Role
This role is part of our Language and Learning service, which supports integration through three key areas:
- Employability workshops and advice
- Digital skills training
- Non-accredited ESOL classes
You will play a vital role in empowering individuals, particularly those who are learning English, to rebuild their confidence, develop their skills, feel more connected to their community, and move toward further education or employment. Working closely with the Service Manager, our volunteers, and the wider team, you will provide support and guidance to our volunteers and learners while also contributing to wider team activities and workshops that promote inclusion and opportunity.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
