In 1958, McCullough became National Women's Officer of the TGWU. During this period, she also served on the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC). She was now one of the most prominent women trade unionists of the period, alongside Ethel Chipchase, Florence Hancock, Anne Godwin and Anne Loughlin. She was a supporter of the Annual Conference of Unions Catering for Women Workers. In 1963, McCullough was seconded from TGWU to work in the Education Department of the TUC. After two years, she returned to the TGWU, where she instead became National Secretary for Research, and from 1969, Education was also included in her remit. She served as president of the WEA from 1964 to 1971, and president of the International Federation of Workers' Education Associations from 1968 until 1972.
