What You'll Be Doing:
- Diary, email & phone juggling: You’ll manage the calendars, inboxes and calls for three (soon to be four!) National Officers - yes, it’s a bit like herding cats but with more Outlook reminders.

- Documentation dynamo: Draft letters, prep reports, format minutes and help create communications that make everyone look good.
- All-rounder: From helping with conferences and elections to updating memorabilia displays and fielding media enquiries - you’re the go-to person.
- Team player: You’ll work closely with other EAs and departments to make sure everything runs like a well-oiled union machine.

- A sharp eye for detail (you’ll spot a typo from ten paces).
- Top-notch organisational skills and the patience of a saint.
- Great communication skills- you’ll be speaking to everyone from union officials to external stakeholders.
- Tech savvy: confident with Microsoft Office, email systems and digital filing.
- A sense of humour - very important when printers jam 5 minutes before a big meeting.
Bonus Points If You:
- Can turn complex admin into a breeze.
- Know your way around GDPR without falling asleep.
- Have an interest in the work of trade unions and the real-world issues members face.
