There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.
The role
As the RCN officer (Reps & Activism) you will lead work in the London region to empower our members to get active on workplace issues and support them in their activities. You’ll inspire activism, act as an enabler and recruit, engage and support RCN reps. It’s a great opportunity for someone adept at networking and digital communications, as we’ll need you to build and foster relationships and engagement across our member-communities as well as support groups of members with collective workplace issues.
The person
This is a role for someone with excellent organisational and prioritising skills, adept at dealing with conflicting and changing priorities. You’ll need experience of developing people and leaders in either an employment, community, or political setting and experience working with trade union reps. We need you to have innovative plans for effective communication, for spotting and harnessing talent, and for managing your time well to deliver in this demanding environment.
We are looking for someone with a commitment to increasing member presence at local level, supporting local representatives and working for justice in healthcare.
To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
What we offer you
We expect you to look after our members. And we expect you to be rewarded for it. We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme. We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.
*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.
We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. Our hybrid working model allows for up to 60% of your working time to be carried out from home. At least 40% of your working time will be spent working in person.
