With a hugely ambitious and exciting work program ahead we are looking to expand our national team and increase our capacity to fight industry changing campaigns. We are looking for union officials that are creative, hard‑working and strategic to join our dynamic team.

Experience with supply chain campaigning, training or development a plus. A willingness to understand and implement union growth and sector consolidation strategies. Some experience in training, developing or mentoring officials or delegates. Experience in bargaining is desired but not essential. The ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Strong communications skills, including demonstrated ability to write reports and draft internal and external communications. Good IT communications skills, including experience with Excel and digital communications. An interest in learning how to lead other team members. A commitment to labour values. Additional Information The majority of roles will be based in our national office in Sydney, with some requiring interstate travel. However, branches across Australia are also seeking to bring on additional people in similar roles, so we would also encourage interstate applications. A competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidates. The position is full time but willing to discuss part time options. To apply, forward a Cover Letter and CV to Emily McMillan, National Assistant Secretary, by email: For a confidential discussion about these roles, please contact us on to arrange a time with Emily. #J-18808-Ljbffr
