Who we are

NUS Charity is an exciting organisation developing and championing strong students’ unions. We connect our members and curate services to deliver advice, guidance and crisis support to students’ associations and unions across the UK.

We do professional differently. We are a progressive charity representing students’ unions. The sector is inclusive, fun, dynamic and representative and we put students and students’ unions at the heart of everything we do. We are challenging but are committed to creating a supportive and flexible environment which pushes your personal development in your everyday activity.

What we do

Students’ unions can be transformational hubs for students, staff, and wider society. NUS Charity support our member’s development to enhance their capacity and harness opportunities to maximise their positive impact. We do this in many ways, from managing a purchasing consortium to drive great value for our members, to our development activity, supporting the best potential in students’ unions - we strive to make a difference to our members.

Within our small Union Development team we deal with a range of organisational development work, whether that’s being the Returning Officer and supporting students’ union elections, running development events/webinars, helping new students’ unions create the structures that they need, coaching a students’ union leader who needs extra support, or creating guidance on new legislation that will affect students’ unions – no two days are the same.

What we need

NUS Charity is looking for a Development Consultant to strengthen organisational development for our members, predominantly in Scotland. We’re looking to diversify the knowledge within our team to deliver high quality projects in organisational development based on our Quality Students’ Unions framework and other relevant benchmarking tools. We’re also part-funded by the Scottish Funding Council to provide specific developmental support for College Students’ Associations across Scotland. You don’t need to have worked in students’ unions before, but working in a membership/governance/charity environment would be a bonus.

Committed to Inclusion

We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability. You can be yourself here whoever you are, be proud of the work you do and build a career in a place that knows different is good.

We recognise that candidates from racialised backgrounds are under-represented in our organisation, and that there are often additional barriers present for people from these groups when applying for roles in the charity sector and beyond. We are committed to taking positive action to expand the diversity of our staff team, and if you meet the minimum criteria for a role (at least 80% of the criteria in the person specification) and are from a racialised background, you'll be guaranteed a first stage interview. It is important to note that this scheme guarantees an interview for candidates who meet the minimum criteria and tell us that they'd like to be considered under the scheme. The selection decision at interview will be based on the most suitable candidate, regardless of any protected characteristic.

This role will be based at home, with travel across Scotland and the UK to meet members and to deliver and attend events fairly regularly.

Benefits

We aim to practice what we preach so we’re happy to offer a flexible person-centred working environment with a great benefits package including:

Generous holiday entitlement (starting at 27 days per year rising with service to 30 days)

Flexible working opportunities

Valuable workplace pension

Enhanced parental pay policies

Employee assistance programme

Paid volunteer days – three days per year for full time staff

About Street Soccer

Street Soccer is a charity using football to create lasting change in the lives of isolated and excluded adults and young people. We run 60 sessions a week of free, inclusive and judgement-free football. These sessions provide person-centred support to players facing a number of challenges including mental health, homelessness, long term unemployment, problem substance use, criminal justice and seeking asylum. Our mission is to create hope and opportunity for all.

We support thousands of players a year on their journey to positive change by providing a safe space, trusting relationships and a sense of belonging. We fight isolation and exclusion by bringing people together, building confidence and creating supportive communities. We support people of all ages and backgrounds through relationship-based support, focusing on trust and personal development, supporting everyone to set and achieve their own goals. Thanks to the support of Street Soccer, 82% of players say that their quality of life has improved.

Lived experience is at the heart of what we do, with over 80% of our staff having lived experience of the challenges our players face.

97% of players think that Street Soccer is a unique organisation. With 15 years of experience delivering positive change through football, we are now working in more communities than ever, with city hubs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and South London, as well as a network of sessions across 6 other local authorities.

To support our work, we generate income through a range of fundraising and income-generating initiatives, including donations, high-profile fundraising events, social enterprise initiatives and grant funding from trusts and foundations. These efforts are underpinned by inspiring storytelling, strategic marketing, and meaningful partnerships that connect our supporters with the impact of our work.

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated individual to join our team and drive forward our business engagement strategy. This is a key role in the Income Generation Team, responsible for securing, developing and managing strategic partnerships with companies that share our values and want to make a difference.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to develop meaningful partnerships that generate income, raise awareness and create new ways for people to engage with Street Soccer. This role is key to strengthening our long-term sustainability, expanding our profile and supporter base, and ultimately creating more opportunities for the players we support across the country.

Experience working in the non-profit sector is desirable but not essential. We also welcome applicants from commercial sectors with a strong background in sales, partnerships or account management who can demonstrate an understanding of values led work and relationship-based engagement.
