Come and work for Education Support, the UK’s only charity focused on the mental health and wellbeing of everyone working in education.

The role

We’re looking for a creative and collaborative Communications Officer to join our team.

You’ll help bring our mission to life by creating bold and engaging content across all our channels. One day you might be editing a powerful case study for our newsletter. The next, you’ll be creating social media graphics, driving a campaign launch, or helping host an online event for educators across the UK.

You’ll help us amplify the voices of those working in schools and colleges in all four nations of the UK. Your work will make sure they know they’re not alone.

We’re looking for someone who’s digitally savvy, full of ideas, and excited to help us grow our reach and deepen our impact. If you’re ready to create comms that truly matter, get in touch.

What you’ll do

• Lead on planning and creating content for our social media channels
• Write and edit everything from Instagram posts to campaign emails, landing pages to blog articles
• Support the delivery of powerful campaigns that raise awareness and reduce stigma around mental health in education
• Collaborate with colleagues across the charity to shape messaging and share stories
• Spot trends, track performance and help us keep learning what works
• Build and maintain relationships with influencers who can help us grow our audience
• Play a key role in our webinars and online events
• Implement our tone of voice clearly and consistently

What we’re looking for

• A confident communicator, with excellent writing and editing skills
• Experience handling multiple social media channels and creating compelling content
• A sharp eye for design and a love of great copywriting in all its forms
• Comfortable working across multiple projects, deadlines and ideas
• A collaborator who’s proactive, flexible and full of initiative
• Some knowledge of mental health, education or the charity sector is a bonus but a genuine interest in our mission is what matters most
