Campaign Manager

• Hours: 30 hours (4 days per week). 
• Duration: Two-year contract with possible extension subject to funding.
• Location: Homeworking, but within easy reach of London
• Salary: £48,000 per annum FTE (£38,400 pro-rata)

You will play a pivotal role in driving the aims of our new programme, delivering campaign moments that raise the status of early educators while amplifying our emerging research from this programme, and activating new messaging and narratives.

With the support of our Head of Advocacy & Communications, you will grow our network of supporters, securing the backing of organisations from across civil society, the business community and the public sector for our shared aims.

Ideally you will have a good working knowledge of the challenges facing the sector and a good understanding of key influencers in this space including think tanks, MPs and journalists.

Senior Research & Policy Officer

• Hours: 37.5 hours (5 days per week). Some out-of-hours work may be required for which TOIL will be given.
• Duration: One-year contract with possible extension subject to funding.
• Location: Home-working but located in Greater Manchester
• Salary: £44,755 per annum

Your time will be split between two key strands of work:

• Our core research and policy function which responds to emerging early years policy, government consultations and shapes our own original research
• A ‘test and learn’ pilot on workforce development.

The former will require you to have a good grasp of mixed research methods, some understanding of the challenges facing early education and childcare, as well as a good understanding of the political and economic climate we’re working in. Naturally, you should be able to produce clear and compelling briefings that can be of use to policymakers and our members.

The latter is an exciting new project that is a key output in our three-year programme, ‘Building the Early Education Workforce in England’. It will see you partner with combined authorities, think tanks and coalition partners. You will need to be comfortable handling data in this role.
