We are looking for lead-organisers, organisers, campaigners, trainers/educators and industrial staff to join our team working out of Sydney.

We know we must keep disrupting the status quo to keep bringing about real reform for transport workers to ensure they have a powerful voice.

Key Skills Required For The Roles A proven track record as a union organiser or campaigner. 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.

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. 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. Just make a note in your application of your preferred location. A competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidates. The position is full time but willing to discuss part time options.
