About us
This is an exciting time for the WI, as we are planning the next stages of our strategy and building on our strategic vision launched in 2020 – to be bold and inspiring, growing and relevant, flexible and inclusive. We are proud to say that we continue to be the largest and most influential UK-based women's organisation, with over 180,000 members. Our campaigns push for change on the issues that matter to women and their communities, and we have been a powerful voice throughout our 108 year history on issues from equal pay for women to protecting the environment from pollution. Today we look to grow our campaigns to reach new audiences and deliver increased impact on the issues that matter to women and their communities. We continue to support and empower women to campaign to tackle climate change, for more awareness of neurodiversity and to end violence against women. The WI has a track record of achieving real change on a huge range of issues, and this record of action shows that we are as relevant today as we were in 1915 when we began.
The National Federation of Women's Institutes (the NFWI) is responsible for running the organisation and provides support and advice to members at both regional and local levels. The NFWI also works with the Denman Trust to fulfil its charitable objectives and implement a comprehensive educational programme of courses and activities, both online and in person, to WI members and non-members.
As a staff team, our strength is in trusting and engaging each other. We champion flexibility and inclusion, having implemented a bold hybrid model that supports a good work life balance and wellbeing, whilst at the same time allows the charity to flourish and do our best for our members.
About the Research and Campaigns Officer Role
In this varied and exciting role you will support the NFWI's campaigns, public affairs, policy and research work to influence and increase awareness of our high-profile national campaigns. By contributing to the development and implementation of the NFWI's campaigning strategy at all levels of the organisation, you will be instrumental in ensuring that resolutions passed by WI members are successfully transformed into effective local and national campaigns. From providing high quality research on potential campaign issues, to developing new campaigns from start to finish and working with a wide range of partners across the charity sector to maximise our impact. You will play a key role in helping the NFWI achieve real and impactful change in its campaigning and lobbying activities.
About you
Educated to degree level, or with equivalent skills, you will be competent in both policy research and campaign development. Knowledge of the parliamentary process and current affairs are essential, as is a willingness to work on issues across the policy spectrum. You will have excellent communication skills, with the ability to confidently represent the NFWI at external events.
Experience or interest in one or more of the following policy areas would be beneficial: health, social justice, and environmental sustainability.
In return, we will offer you a hybrid working arrangement, which means a minimum of one day a week in the office and the rest from home although you can work up to three days in the office if preferred, 28 days' annual leave rising to 30 days on completion of 5 years' service, membership of our Healthcare scheme, Cycle to Work scheme, and more.
