CORE SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES:

• Experience in developing and delivering effective communications strategies

United Learning are one of the three organisations part of the consortia delivering the Department for Education (DfE) funded Sustainability Support for Education (SSfE) website. It has been built in collaboration by three organisations: TPXImpact, Blue Marble and United Learning.
SSfE is a free website for everyone in the education sector seeking to improve their educational setting’s environmental sustainability. It curates high-quality materials and offers clear actions to help educational settings develop their climate action plans. It first went live in May 2024 and as of July 2025, SSfE has grown to over 3,000 registered users — and we’re just getting started!
We are now seeking a motivated and strategic Communications Officer to help us grow SSfE’s reach and embed it further into the education sector’s climate action efforts.
This role will be responsible for raising awareness of SSfE and driving users to the website. You will own the communications strategy and be responsible for delivery of all marketing and communications activities. You will be responsible for liaising with key partners and stakeholders to maximise our reach, including resource providers and the DfE, and for engaging directly with users through events and webinars.
The SSfE website operates within a broader ecosystem of organisations supporting sustainability in education, including our key partner programmes: Let’s Go Zero, Climate Ambassadors, and the National Education Nature Park (NENP). A key part of this role will involve deepening our collaboration with these ‘sister’ organisations, aligning communications efforts, and contributing to a unified voice for climate action in education.
