Do you like to be creatively and intellectually challenged?
Do you love working with students, apprentices and young people?
Do you see education as a transformative force for individuals and society?
 
If you answered ‘Yes!’ then we’d love to hear from you.
 
Who we are
 
We’re one of the world’s largest student movements. Together with our 450 member students’ unions and 7 million students and apprentices, NUS are fighting to make education, and the world, better. We believe that education should be accessible and enjoyable for all – and our community of students, educators, activists and advocates are determined to make it happen.
 
Who you are
 
We’re looking for an experienced movement builder to make the student movement a powerful force in the UK. The Movement Development team is a new team in NUS, focusing on building an inclusive student voice and strong and healthy student activism that can unlock the collective power of the 7 million students and apprentices we represent. We will achieve this through projects that;

• develop the means for marginalised and under-represented student groups to campaign together; ranging from growing the Liberation Collective for racialised, women, LGBT , trans and disabled students, to building new structures for strong student voice in further education
• convene a political student and youth movement, strengthening its voice in civil society through organising and democratic engagement
• equip students with the skills, democracy and tools to build resilient campaign communities

 
You’ll be excited by the power and potential in the student movement, and you’ll have the magical combination of campaign and project management skills along with the aptitude for navigating political spaces and forging relationships across our diverse movement of member students’ unions, student activists and stakeholders. Initially you’ll manage our liberation and equality work but there will be scope to lead a broad range of projects as we grow.
 
Why apply?
 
In return for your passion and experience we offer the flexibility for work-life balance, a competitive salary for the non-profit sector and a great benefits package:

• 27 days holiday (increasing with service)
• Flexible working opportunities from day one
• Enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental, adoption and sick pay
• Employee wellbeing support
• Paid Volunteering Days
• Other Benefits available: Company Pension Scheme, Free Flu vaccinations, Free Eye Test vouchers, Employee Assistance Scheme, Cycle to Work Scheme, discounts, Childcare Allowance, Health Cash Plan

 
We 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.
 
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 non-profit sector and beyond. We are committed to taking positive action to expand the diversity of our staff team, and if you meet the minimum criteria for a role (at least 80% of the criteria in the person specification) 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.
 
This is a full-time permanent post based at either our London or Stockport office, with options for flexible and hybrid working, or homebased within the UK.
 
Closing date for applications: Monday 18th August 2025 (23:59)
