We are seeking a proactive and research-driven Policy and Research Officer to shape and advocate for sustainable education policies within post-16 education. The role will involve gathering sector intelligence, identifying policy opportunities, and developing evidence-based policy positions. You will work collaboratively with EAUC staff, strategic partners, government bodies, sector leaders, and other decision-makers to inform and influence positive policy changes that embed sustainability within the education sector.

It’s an exciting time for the EAUC – we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary, have recently launched a new strategy and initiated new high-profile projects. We’re also investing in our systems, for example, rationalising and modernising our digital estate.

You will be flexible, self-led and able to work remotely and happy to work with colleagues to support wider organisation activities and targets. Our work is rarely linear so you’ll also be comfortable in rapidly evolving and dynamic environments.
