work directly influences national priorities and member engagement?

We are seeking a dynamic Strategic Support Officer to work closely with the General Secretary and senior colleagues across the

organisation helping to organise teachers and build the Teachers’ Union. This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role at

the heart of the union. The role will help to design and deliver high-impact campaigns that advance our industrial priorities,

strengthen our voice, and grow our membership and activism.

About the Role

As Strategic Support Officer, you will operate at the centre of strategic delivery, connecting policy, campaigns, and people. You

will

This is a role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery; where no two days are the same.

· Proven experience in planning and delivering national campaigns, ideally within a trade union, membership organisation, or

similar environment

· Strong track record of developing and supporting engagement strategies that inspire participation and activism

· Ability to translate policy and strategic objectives into clear, compelling campaign activity

· Excellent engagement skills, with the confidence to work across teams and at senior levels

· Experience in messaging, digital campaigning, including knowledge and experience of relevant software

· A proactive, solutions-focused approach with strong organisational and coordination skills

Why Join Us?

This is more than a role, it’s an opportunity to influence change. You’ll be part of a values-driven organisation; a trade union

committed to making a real difference for its members, working in an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and

impact.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve. We actively encourage

applications from individuals from underrepresented groups.

If you’re ready to help shape campaigns that matter and build a stronger, more active union, we’d love to hear from you.
