Education Officer

Do you have a good understanding of weather and climate science? Have you had experience of working within meteorology? A highly regarded Professional and Learned Society has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Education Officer who will support their formal education programme and who will work closely with schools and the teaching community, as well as grow your network within the weather and climate education community. This position is offered with hybrid working, combining a mix of remote working, and working from the Society’s Reading offices, but there is an option to consider part-time working (minimum 22.5hrs per week).

Reporting to the Head of Education, responsibilities will include:

•            Teaching resource development across a broad range of school subjects and levels

•            Quality Control of resources and assessment of materials submitted to the Society

•            Managing and promoting the Society’s Instrument Loan programme

•            Managing and promoting the Society’s communications with schools and teachers

•            Supporting career activities, which could include producing career guidance, booklets, or running workshops

The successful person will have a degree or higher, in meteorology or climatology or possibly physics or environmental science. You will have knowledge across weather and climate and evidence of involvement in this area. A demonstrable interest in wanting to improve weather and climate literacy is essential for this role. You will have solid experience of managing your own workload, delivering to tight deadlines along with excellent attention to detail.

Previous experience of web content management and either teaching or supporting teachers in a formal education setting would be desirable, but not essential. Able to think creatively and work efficiently in a team environment, you will have excellent written and verbal communication skills. This is a unique opportunity to join a small team in a dynamic and varied role. The Society offers an attractive salary and benefits package to the successful candidate.
