About this job
At UNISON, we’re not just an organisation; we’re a vibrant community of over 1.3 million members dedicated to championing the rights of workers across the UK. Our members are the backbone of the public services, essential utilities, and private contractors delivering public services.
Are you ready to make a real impact?
We’re on the lookout for passionate individuals who can bring their unique blend of experience and skills to the table. If you’re well-versed in the art of one-to-one communications, recruitment, organising, and campaign strategy, you’re exactly who we need.
Why UNISON?
As a vital part of our team, you’ll be at the forefront of empowering workers and creating positive change in publics services. You’ll be working alongside a dynamic group of organisers across the South East who are deeply committed to our mission.
What We’re Looking For:
Trade Union and Labour Movement Expertise: We’re seeking candidates who can hit the ground running with a strong understanding of the trade union and labour movement, particularly within the UNISON framework.
