Job Title
This permanent post is post funded via the union’s Branch Support and Organising Fund (BSOF) and initially it will be working in our Schools Team on a schools’ organising project across the West Midlands.

- work closely with the branch and activists to build recruitment and organising initiatives
- support casework, develop and train workplace representatives
- support branch communications and campaigns.
Requirements
While previous experience as a caseworker or organiser within a trade union, political or community organisation is desirable, transferrable skills are also welcomed. Candidates must demonstrate an understanding of our union’s values and objectives.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
