Derbyshire Health UNISON - Branch Support Organiser

UNISON is the UK’s leading public services trade union, with over 1.3 million members working in the public sector, private, voluntary and community sectors and in the energy services.

UNISON is a dynamic, progressive union, committed to equality.  We encourage men and women of all ages, Black and minority ethnic groups, disabled people, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to work with us.

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 real terms pay rises for all public service workers.

We are looking for a Branch Support Organiser to support both North & South Derbyshire Health branches with their administration as well as representation, recruitment and organising of members. The role will be the first contact for members when they need support. In addition to signing them up for union membership you will help motivate them to take an active role in our campaigns, as well as dealing with individual representation. This role will require travel across Derbyshire as the organiser will be visiting workplaces to further our objectives.

The successful candidate will bring their experience and skills in one-to-one communications, representation, recruitment, organising, campaigning, and administration.  Previous experience as a recruiter, organiser and campaigner within a trade union or community organisation would also be desirable. Access to our offices in Derby and Chesterfield is available. You will need suitable office space at home, full IT equipment will be provided. You will also need to demonstrate knowledge of trade unionism and our union’s values.
