BSOF Local Organiser x 2 – Greater London Region

35 hours p/w - Fixed term until 31 December 2027

UNISON members keep Londoners safe, well and supported every day.  Help us organise workers to speak up for themselves and the services we all depend on.

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? UNISON is looking for enthusiastic, flexible, and resourceful individuals to support organising projects in the Greater London Region.

The Branch Support & Organising Fund Local Organiser is a new and exciting role designed to support delivery of the union’s organising projects across the region.

UNISON is looking for enthusiastic, flexible, and resourceful individuals to support the Greater London Region with a range of organising projects. Projects will focus on organising, recruitment and building capacity within UNISON branches.

The role will focus principally upon the recruitment and retention of members in key campaign sites, as well as identifying new reps and contributing to campaign activities.

The ideal candidate will possess strong skills in one-to-one communication, problem-solving, persuasion, perseverance, and self-motivation. While previous experience as a recruiter, organiser, or campaigner within a trade union or community organisation is desirable, transferrable skills are also highly valued. Candidates must demonstrate an understanding of our union’s values and objectives.

The successful candidates will need to be flexible with their working hours. Reaching members who work in these environments can be challenging during “office hours” so the successful candidate may be required to work in the evening, early mornings and occasionally at weekends. UNISON has a range of policies to support a healthy work/life balance. Our projects are delivered in workplaces across the whole region, so you will need to be able to travel in and around Greater London.

To apply for this opportunity, please visit the website and download and complete the area/local organiser application form referring to the job description and person specification.

Please note that only the relevant application form will be accepted. CVs will not be accepted.  

The completed application form along with the Recruitment and Disability Monitoring Form should be returned by e-mail to G@unison.co.ukquoting reference: R3/BSOF1T and/or R3/BSOF4T.

Completed application forms must be received by no later than 12 noon on Friday 31 July 2026.
