Your workplace

We are the union for your whole career, whether you’re a trainee or newly qualified teacher, member of support staff, classroom teacher, lecturer or leader.

In the independent sector, the National Education Union is the leading education union in terms of both membership and negotiating rights, including those of support staff. In maintained schools, the local government unions are recognised to collectively bargain on behalf of support staff. We also have a growing number of support staff members in sixth form, FE and HE colleges.
