The position works under the direction of the General Secretary pursuant to our rules and reports to the Manager, Metropolitan.
We work a thirty-five hour week and enjoy a nine-day fortnight; however, due to the nature of the position a flexible approach to working hours is an essential requirement.

Applicants will need to be self-starters, motivated, able to analyse and resolve industrial conflict, have superior negotiation skills and an ability to communicate both orally and in written form.
You will be required to develop and implement organising plans for work that include developing, educating and supporting workplace delegates and activists, increasing levels of membership and activism, including the direct recruitment of new members and assisting the effective operation and projects of delegates committees. You will also be required to assist members and delegates in the resolution of grievances and collective bargaining and other campaign work.
You should have a strong commitment to the principles of Trade Unionism and an understanding of our Industry Awards / Agreements.
