Shape Strategy. Drive Campaigns. Build a Movement.

 

Are you passionate about turning ideas into impactful campaigns? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, purpose-led environment where your 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:

·       Support the development and implementation of industrial strategy, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities

·       Help to develop and initiate national policy-based campaigns, translating strategy into action

·       Work to develop and deliver plans that build member engagement, activism, and visibility

·       Work collaboratively across teams to ensure a coherent, joined-up approach to campaign delivery

·       Support the design and implementation of initiatives that build activism and strengthen member participation

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

About You

We’re looking for someone who combines strategic insight with practical delivery:

·       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.
