Who are we?
 
NUS is a confederation of over 440 students’ unions representing just under 4m students and apprentices across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales. In Scotland, there are over 40 students’ associations representing 460,000 students.
 
NUS Charity is an exciting organisation developing and championing strong students’ unions. We connect our members and curate services to deliver advice, guidance and crisis support to students’ unions.
 
We do professional differently. We are a progressive charity representing students’ unions across the UK. The sector is inclusive, fun, dynamic and representative and we put students and students’ unions at the heart of everything we do. We are challenging but are committed to creating a supportive and flexible environment which pushes your personal development in your everyday activity.
 
What we do
 
Students’ unions can be transformational hubs for students, staff, and wider society. NUS Charity support our members' development to enhance their capacity and harness opportunities to maximise their positive impact. We do this in many ways, from managing a purchasing consortium to drive great value for our members, to our development activity, supporting the best potential in students’ unions - we strive to make a difference to our members.
 
The student movement is fast-paced and sometimes challenging, but we’re also a big family who support each other.
 
We’re see anti-oppression as central to our mission. Education isn’t working unless it’s working for everyone in our society. We’re trans inclusive without exception. And we welcome individuals who are up for taking active responsibility for their own ongoing learning on liberation, equity, diversity and inclusion.
 
What’s the job?
 
We’re seeking a commercially minded and proactive individual to lead on the delivery of the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) in the UK, along with related products for teachers and young people.
 
In this varied role, you’ll build and manage partnerships with commercial brands to provide high-value student discounts, work with educational institutions to expand B2B sales, and support marketing activity across digital channels including social media, email, and web. You’ll also contribute to reporting, relationship management, and the ongoing development of the product offer.
 
We’re looking for someone with experience in sales or account management, strong digital marketing skills, and a confident, collaborative approach to working with partners. Knowledge of the student or education sectors is a bonus, but not essential.
 
This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a role that combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery – all within a purpose-driven organisation committed to supporting students.
 
Who you are
 
To succeed in this role, you’ll need strong skills in sales, account management, and digital marketing. You should be confident in building and maintaining relationships with partners – from commercial brands to educational institutions – and be comfortable negotiating and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to collaborate with colleagues across teams. You’ll need to be organised, able to manage multiple projects at once, and confident working with data – including reporting on sales and marketing performance. A good working knowledge of tools like Microsoft Office and digital marketing platforms is important, and experience with affiliate platforms or CRM systems would be a plus. We’re looking for someone who brings initiative, attention to detail, and a positive, solutions-focused mindset. An understanding of the student market or education sector is helpful but not essential – what matters most is your ability to engage partners, drive results, and work sympathetically in a values led organisation where many of our outcomes focus on doing the right thing, with ethics at the heart of our work.
 
Why apply?
 
As well as a great place to work, we offer a range of benefits including:

• Generous holiday entitlement (starting at 27 days per year rising with service to 30 days, pro rata for part time)
• Enhanced sick, maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption pay
• Paid volunteer days
• Health Cash Plan
• Pension scheme with employer matched contributions up to 6%
• Employee Assistance Scheme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Childcare Allowance

 
We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability. You can be yourself here whoever you are, be proud of the work you do and build a career in a place that knows different is good.
 
We recognise that candidates from Black, Asian and Minoritised-Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds are under-represented in our organisation, and that there are often additional barriers present for people from these groups when applying for roles in the charity sector and beyond. We are committed to taking positive action to expand the diversity of our staff team, and if you meet the essential criteria for a role and are from a BAME background, you'll be guaranteed a first stage interview. It is important to note that this scheme guarantees an interview for candidates who meet the minimum criteria and tell us that they'd like to be considered under the scheme. The selection decision at interview will be based on the most suitable candidate, regardless of any protected characteristic.
 
Please apply via our online application form, we are unable to accept CVs.
 
Closing date for applications is Wednesday 25th June 2025 (23:59).
If you’re successfully shortlisted we’ll see you at an interview on Monday 7th July 2025.

Barnardo's is seeking an empathetic and child led individual who can work within a dynamic and fast-paced environment using their strong organisational, communication and time management skills, to support children in the secure estate.

This part-time position (Children's Rights and Advocacy Worker – Project Worker 2) is based within HMP Parc Young Person's Unit, which accommodates children aged between 15-18 years, who are in custody, either sentenced or on remand. Barnardo's refers to Young Offender Institutions (YOI's) and Secure Training Centres (STC's) as the Secure Estate (please note, the location of some secure establishments may mean they are not easily accessed by public transport).

Barnardo's is commissioned by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to provide an Independent Children's Rights and Advocacy (ICRAS) Service to children accommodated in a secure setting. The service is known to children as Barnardo's: Your Rights, Your Voice, and currently works within  four Young Offender Institutes,  one Secure Training Centre and one  Secure Children's home. The ICRAS service is child led and independent of the secure estate; our service is delivered within Parc  YOI to ensure children can freely access support for a range of issues linked to their needs, rights & experiences of custody, resettlement, and safeguarding.  As such this is a child-facing service, and at times involves lone working in the establishments, so we are seeking someone who can see the child, not the offence.

We hold ‘voice' at the heart of all we do, therefore we feel the role is best described by someone who is currently working in this sector: “The role is a Children's Rights and Advocacy role, which means it is our job to empower the children we work with and help them to understand that what they think, what they feel and what they want, really matters. We can speak on behalf of children to ensure their voice is heard and we also have the opportunity to help them to find the tools and confidence to raise their voices for themselves.  Advocacy and Children's Rights support is particularly crucial in the secure estate because children are away from home, family and champions, and also because children in secure estate are some of the most vulnerable children in society; they have often faced considerable adversity, disadvantage and discrimination prior to arriving into custody and they might not, therefore, be equipped with the skills needed to articulate their concerns. Through the work you do with a child such as  simply helping them make contact with friends or family on the outside, to helping them with concerns they may have in relation todiscrimination, resettlement or safeguarding issues, you  may be the one person telling them that  they matter for the very first time.”

The position (Children's Rights and Advocacy Worker – Project Worker 2) is line managed by a Team Manager, reporting to an off-site manager. The post holder will need to be able to work autonomously, working to the requirements of the contract and the regime of the YOI. The secure estate is a highly structured environment; as a Barnardo's service we deliver independent advocacy and support for a range of issues, whilst still having to follow and adhere to this structure.

This role includes lone working in this challenging prison environment. It is, therefore, critical that the successful candidate can follow guidance and policy and is able to take proactive and individual responsibility to understand and access the service support mechanisms.  This role requires the worker to be onsite for their contracted hours, working remotely only for occasional training or meetings. The advocacy team work on a rota system with set hours each week, which includes weekends and bank holidays. Applicants should also be aware, that due to the nature of working within secure estate, the vetting and induction process can take several months to complete.

When completing your application please refer to your skills, knowledge and experience in relation to the Additional Information, Person Specification and Job Description document. This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described, including advocacy and safeguarding.  

This is a part-time vacancy with  18.5 hours available per week. 

Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

The first-stage interview for shortlisted candidates will be held on Wednesday, 27 June 2025 via Teams. Successful candidates will then be invited to a final in-person interview on Monday, 30 June 2025.
