The Role
What will I be doing?
As the Community Support Officer (Engagement and Volunteering), you’ll be at the heart of our work to build a vibrant, inclusive physics community.

Projects you work on may include:
- Creating a new Volunteering Guide and Welcome Handbook
- Designing and delivering onboarding and training for new committee members
- Organising flagship events like the annual Committee Welcome Day

You’ll also be part of a wider team of Community Support Officers, each with their own focus area, working together to build a connected, thriving membership community.
Who will I work with?
As a Community Support Officer (Engagement and Volunteering), you’ll be part of a dynamic, collaborative environment where relationships matter. You’ll work closely with:
- The Community Support team and Student & Early Career Support Officer – sharing insights, coordinating efforts, and supporting each other to deliver a seamless member experience.

- Cross-functional teams across the IOP – including Science and Innovation, Education and Workforce, EDI, and Public Engagement – to embed inclusive practices and amplify the impact of volunteer-led initiatives.
- Members across our Groups, Nations and Branches (GNBs) – building trusted relationships with committee members, volunteers, and local champions to support their work and celebrate their contributions.
- External partners and sister societies – occasionally collaborating on joint events, campaigns, or volunteer initiatives that extend our reach and deepen our impact.
You’ll be a connector, a collaborator, and a champion for community – helping people feel supported, empowered, and proud to be part of the IOP.
Ideally, we hope you’ll apply if your skills include:
Essential Criteria
Whilst we’re not looking for perfection, we are looking for someone who:
- Loves people – you’re empathetic, approachable, and passionate about helping others feel seen and supported
- Thinks inclusively – you understand what makes engagement meaningful and accessible for everyone
- Communicates clearly – whether it’s writing a guide, running a training session, or answering a query
- Is organised and proactive – you can juggle priorities, meet deadlines, and keep things running smoothly
- Is digitally confident – you’re comfortable using tools like Salesforce, MS Teams, and online platforms
- Is a team player – you collaborate, share ideas, and support others to succeed
Experience working with volunteers, committees or in a membership or charity setting is a big plus — but if you bring the passion and potential, we’ll support you to grow.

-
Communicate information about our line up of online and in-person events to non-partner HE institutions, to secure their attendance at these events.
-
Gain an in-depth understanding of our competitors in the market.
Working together
You’ll be working with the HE and Employer teams, alongside the Partnerships Director for International Schools and HE (who will be your line manager), the Partnerships Director for UK Schools and Employers, the Head of Employer Partnerships, and the Head of HE Partnerships.

You’ll be a key driver of our Inspiring Futures programme—helping young people break down barriers and imagine bigger futures.
It’s a varied, people-focused role with loads of room for creativity, independence and collaboration. Whether you’re visiting a school, chatting with a funder, or supporting a trade fair, you’ll be helping young people build skills that will last a lifetime.

- A natural communicator—whether leading a session in a classroom or inspiring a room of volunteers

- Self-motivated, adaptable, and happy working remotely but never alone—you’ll be part of a close-knit regional team
- Excited by the idea of doing a job that combines delivery, relationship-building, fundraising and volunteering
Key Responsibilities
- Build and grow relationships with schools, colleges, youth clubs and local communities

- Work with your regional team to meet shared goals and celebrate local impact
- Help secure local funding by supporting fundraising efforts and managing project deliverables
- Support the planning of events, trade fairs and celebrations for young people
- Keep accurate records, track impact, and make sure safeguarding is front and centre
A few practical things:
- This is a hands-on role—you’ll sometimes be lifting resources, setting up venues and travelling regularly (a car and full driving licence are essential)
- You’ll need to be happy occasionally working evenings or weekends during peak delivery times
- Expect to be on your feet during some events or sessions—it’s all part of the fun!
