About this job

This is a challenging, creative and busy role. One day you might be planning the launch of a report looking at the working conditions of sleep-in care staff. The next you could be briefing the general secretary for a round of media interviews. Or looking for case studies to illustrate a campaign for better pay for outsourced NHS staff to be released at the annual health conference.

You’ll be a people person with an excellent contacts book. You know instantly what makes a story (and what doesn’t). You’ll have the creativity to devise campaigns to keep UNISON – and the nurses, teaching assistants, care workers and other public servants who belong to it – in the headlines, for all the right reasons.

You will have crisp writing skills, be full of enthusiasm, possess excellent attention to detail, be persuasive, able to work quickly but accurately, have the ability to multi-task, and be brimming with ideas.
