About this job

SOU activity is constantly evaluated to ensure best practice and key lessons are captured and shared with the wider
union.

Work will be predominantly ‘field’ based, in and around member workplaces. Activity is generally within teams, but there will be some lone working. Some desk–based administrative support of the
wider team will also be required.

Although the Strategic Organising Unit is based at the UNISON Centre, the post holder may be based at their nearest UNISON Region by agreement. Irrespective of work base, SOU organisers can be deployed to any region for periods of activity and campaigns in support of UNISON objectives.
