SalaryThe EIS is Scotland’s largest and most influential trade union and professional organisation for teachers and lecturers, with more than 63,000 members working in all education sectors and at all career stages.
An opportunity has arisen to join our team in a permanent, full-time role as National Officer (Higher Education). Duties of this post will include the recruitment and retention of members, training for members, member casework, negotiations with employers and the servicing the executive committee of the EIS University Lecturers’ Association (ULA).
Applications from candidates with a background in teaching or lecturing are particularly welcome, as are those from candidates with previous or current experience of working within a trade union in a professional or lay capacity.
The post will be based at the EIS Head Office in Edinburgh. However, the Institute has a Flexible Working Patterns policy, offering all members of staff a high degree of flexibility over the location at which work is carried out, subject to the overall requirements of the EIS and its members.
The post comes with the optional benefit of a car allowance, provided on the basis of the EIS car policy.
As a trade union employer, the EIS is committed to the principles of social justice and equality. We therefore welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of any protected characteristics.
