Local organisers play an essential role in ensuring the success of our members’ campaigns. The role is very dynamic and would be suited to candidates who are keen to be on the ground, in workplaces, speaking directly to workers to motivate them to join their trade union and take collective action.
About this job
With the support of Regional and Area Organisers, you will take part in the process of developing organising strategies, in line with the national Organising to Win strategy.
The successful candidate will support our organising projects, focusing on growing our membership and building organisation across the East Midlands region. In addition to signing new members up for union membership, you will help motivate them to take an active role in our campaigns. This role will require travel across the East Midlands as the organisers will be visiting workplaces to further our objectives.
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.
The successful candidate will need to be flexible with their working hours. Reaching members can be challenging during “office hours” so the successful candidate may be required to work in the evening, early mornings and occasionally at weekends.
Our projects open great opportunities for existing members and activists who think they’ve got what it takes to work in a dynamic team, helping to recruit new members, identify and develop the next generation of activists and a build a network of union ambassadors advocating and representing members. If this is you, or someone you know, we would like to support that interest.
