INTRODUCING SOS-UK

SOS-UK is a sustainability and wellbeing charity, launched by the National Union of Students’
in October 2019.

We are an education charity focusing on sustainability, we work across all forms of education
and through our work we aim to:

• Get more students leading on, and learning for, sustainability.
• Repurpose the education system around the climate emergency and ecological crises.
• Make sustainability more inclusive, so it is for everyone.

We believe that when students lead on sustainability, they learn about it, picking up the vital
knowledge, skills and competencies they will need to help transform society into a more just
and sustainable place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Campaign Manager will lead on all aspects of the day-to-day delivery of Invest for Change,
our flagship ethical finance campaign, as well as working with others to shape the future of
our ethical finance work.

We have developed a campaign strategy that is delivering a steady stream of changes in policy
and practice in universities across the UK. The Campaign Manager will build on this momentum,
continuing and further developing our work educating, empowering and organising students to
mobilise university investments towards a just, decarbonised economy for all.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading on the delivery of Invest for Change and other ethical finance projects and campaigns
  as required
• Engaging and upskilling students and Students’ Union officers on positive investment, such as
  through delivering our annual summer Ethical Finance trainings. Provide them with ongoing,
  hands-on and tailored support to help them progress ethical finance within their institution
• Plan and deliver sector-wide ethical investment campaigns on critical social and/or
  environmental justice issues, including coordinating university engagement with investment
  managers and investee companies, gaining media attention for these initiatives.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

We’re totally committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from
individuals regardless of their age, disability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual
orientation.

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, as they
are currently under-represented within SOS-UK.

We recognise that candidates from Black, Asian and Minoritised-Ethnic (BAME) 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 BAME 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.]

Find out more about what it’s like working for SOS-UK. If you would like to speak to a member
of SOS-UK staff not involved in the interview process about how your experience might meet the
requirements of the role, please get in touch.
