Full Job Description

ORGANISER

NORTH EAST SCOTLAND AND HIGHLAND

£52,965 PER ANNUM + CAR/ CAR ALLOWANCE + FINAL SALARY PENSION BENEFIT

 

The EIS is Scotland’s largest and most influential trade union and professional association for teachers and lecturers, with almost 65,000 members working in all education sectors and at all career stages.

The EIS is currently recruiting for a vacancy within its Organiser team for a permanent full-time position.

The work of the EIS Organiser team involves building and applying organising capacity by supporting Local Associations and Branches within Schools, Colleges and Universities by engaging with reps and members. This involves campaigning, the recruitment and retention of Institute members including probationers and newly qualified teachers, attending branch and Local Association meetings, contributing to national and local CPD events, supporting disputes and nurturing new activists. Organisers may also carry out casework at establishment level in support of members, including investigatory hearings.  

It is intended that the post holder will service Local Associations and Colleges in the North East  of the country (Moray, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire Council areas) and in the Highland Council area. There is, therefore, an expectation that the successful candidate will spend most of their time visiting and working with members in these areas. Administrative support will be supplied from the Dundee EIS Area Office.


The Institute has a Flexible Working Patterns policy, offering all members of staff a high degree of flexibility over the location at which work is carried out, subject to the overall requirements of the Institute.

Applications from candidates with a background in education are particularly welcome, as are those from candidates with previous or current involvement in a trade union.

It is expected that candidates can demonstrate considerable experience of organising or activism within a trade union or community setting.

As a trade union employer, the EIS is committed to the principles of social justice and equality. We therefore, welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of any protected characteristics.

For further information and details of the application procedures please go to apply on external website.
