The National Education Union is a powerful force for change in education, representing 500,000 teachers, lecturers, support staff, and leaders. This is an exciting time to join us on our journey to becoming a more agile, strategic, and powerfully coordinated trade union—ready to meet the challenges of the future and drive lasting change in education.

We are now seeking to recruit a Training Coordinator on a permanent, full-time basis to join our team in the Organising, Training & Activist Development directorate. This is an exciting opportunity to provide central logistical support and event co-ordination to the National Training Manager and Training Team in the day-to-day organisation, promotion and delivery of the union’s reps’ and officers’ training programme. To be successful in this role, applicants will need to have good planning and organisational skills and the ability to work pro-actively and independently.

Prospective applicants are also advised that your normal place of work will be the NEU office in London and that the NEU operates ‘Blended Working Arrangements’ for office-based staff, which means you will typically need to be based in the designated NEU office for 3-4 days a week (based on a full-time contract), with the option of taking the remaining days at home, subject to business needs.

In addition to salary, we offer good conditions including 33 days annual leave plus Christmas closure days and a defined benefit pension scheme. Salary and benefits are pro-rata for part-time applicants.

Please note the closing date is midday Monday 30th November 2026.

We reserve the right to close this advert early if we receive a high volume of applications.
