Get Active – Join our team!
Our Branch depends on volunteers to operate. A whole range of different roles are open to members like you, each one of which carries an important set of responsibilities. Whether you're organising members’ meetings, in negotiations with managers, representing a member in a disciplinary, or helping with a welfare claim, you’ll be helping create an effective union team. Roles can either be Branch-wide, like the Officer positions, or for your own specific workplace. All roles are open to job-share.
