Teach the Future Campaign Organiser (x2) at Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS UK)

As a Campaign Organiser, you'll help to drive our campaign aims, connect with student volunteers across the UK, ensure youth voice on climate education and net-zero schools is heard by policy makers, and coordinate our campaign communications. While staff at SOS UK will support you to develop the skills and knowledge needed, what we really want to see is your passion, motivation and creativity to make integrated, solutions-focused education a reality for every young person in the UK. You will work within a small student staff team with shared responsibilities, but each Campaign Coordinator has their own set of responsibilities shaped by your interests and skills. Your hours each week might include:

• Creating content: Designing posts for social media, writing blog posts, or sending out our newsletter.
• Meeting politicians: Reaching out to and engaging with with MPs to call for better climate education.
• Running events: Organising in-person gatherings, taking part in panel discussions or facilitating online calls with volunteers.
• Mobilising volunteers: Hosting online welcome calls, onboarding students to the campaign and suggesting actions that they can take with the campaign.
• Outreach: Contacting teachers and other youth, education and climate organisations to share about our campaign, learn from them and see where there is cross-over.
• Research: Looking for information to back-up our arguments, gathering perspectives on climate education, and finding what opportunities there are to influence policy.
