educational writer jobs

Through our One World in Schools (OWIS) programme, we use powerful short films and discussion-based teaching resources to help young people question harmful narratives, build empathy, and take civic action.

Operating across Europe, OWIS is now expanding into the UK, building on its strong international reputation in human rights education.

PIN seeks a dynamic, mission-driven consultant to lead the implementation of the OWIS UK Growth Strategy — a four-month, grassroots plan to grow visibility, school engagement, and strategic partnerships across the UK.

The consultant will translate the strategy into action, working closely with the PIN UK team to test, learn, and build the foundations for long-term programme growth.
