UNISON’s Hampshire local government branch is currently recruiting a schools based organiser and caseworker on a one year fixed term contract.
Schools support staff have been unsung heroes during the pandemic and there has never been a more important time to protect our members and encourage those that are not members to join a powerful collective voice. Are you a people person with good listening and problem solving skills? Do you possess the determination to make a difference to people’s lives?

The successful candidate will bring their experience and skills to the role and be able to develop and deliver recruitment and organising initiatives and campaigns in our branches, train and develop stewards, undertake case work, advise, support and mentor branch officers and stewards in representation and negotiation.
You will have excellent presentation skills and communication skills face-to-face, online, and on paper.
A sound understanding of trade unions and their objectives is essential along with a good understanding of UNISON’s wider policies and objectives.
