Branch Support & Organising Fund Local Organiser
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.
Ideal Candidate
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
