About this job
UNISON is the UK’s largest trade union with over 1.3 million members, with over 90,000 in Cymru Wales. Our members are people working in the public services, for private contractors providing public services and essential utilities.
High inflation and rocketing energy bills mean most public service workers are worried how they are going to afford to feed their family and heat their home in the weeks ahead. UNISON is campaigning for a real-terms pay rise for all of its members.
We are looking for new organisers who will focus on recruiting new members in schools across Wales, motivating them to take an active role in our campaigns, and identifying new activists. This role will require travel across Wales as the organisers will be visiting schools to further our Wales schools’ forum campaigns.
The successful candidate will bring their experience and skills in one-to-one communications, recruitment, organising and campaigning. Previous experience as a recruiter, organiser and campaigner within a trade union or community organisation would also be desirable. You will also need to demonstrate knowledge of trade unionism and our union’s values.
