Are you passionate about shaping the future of education and family support? Ready to make a real impact on children’s lives?

S-HS is on the lookout for a Policy and Campaigns Executive to help us create lasting change by ensuring every child gets the education they deserve.

With nearly 1 in 5 children missing enough school to damage their education and future life chances, school attendance has become one of the biggest challenges facing the new government. 

As a Policy and Campaigns Executive, you will collaborate with our Policy and Engagement team, crafting policy briefings, building campaigns and organising events to influence policy makers and opinion formers about the best way to break the barriers of low school attendance and poor educational outcomes.

Ideal Candidate: This role is perfect for someone with experience in policy and public affairs who’s ready to elevate their career. If you have experience working with MPs, charities, or think tanks and are familiar with the Westminster political landscape, we would love to hear from you.

Key Qualities and Experience:

  • Strong policy writing skills;
  • Experience in political engagement and identifying opportunities for impactful change;
  • Knowledge of the education sector is desirable but a passion for fostering equal opportunities for all children a must.

Benefits:

  • 28 days’ holiday;
  • Pension and life assurance;
  • Access to an Employee Assistance Programme.

Bring your skills, drive, and commitment to SHS, and join us in making a real difference in children’s lives.

Hours: Full-time, permanent. Part time hours possible for the right candidate.
