The EIS is Scotland’s largest and most influential trade union and professional organisation for teachers and lecturers, with almost 65,000 members working in all education sectors and at all career stages.

Due to continued growth in the Institute’s operations, there are currently three vacancies within our Area Officer team for permanent, full-time positions. Duties of Area Officers within the EIS include representation of individual members in grievance and disciplinary matters, recruitment and retention of members, training, local negotiations with employers, and the provision of organisational support to the Institute’s local associations.

Area Officer posts come with the optional benefit of a car or car allowance, provided on the basis of the EIS car policy.

Applications from candidates with a background in teaching or lecturing are particularly welcome, as are those from candidates with previous or current involvement in a trade union.

The posts will be based in the EIS Headquarters in Edinburgh and/or the Area Offices in Glasgow and Dundee. 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 geographical areas for which the successful candidates will be initially responsible will be determined by the General Secretary and the Assistant Secretary (Employment Relations) in consultation with the successful candidates, taking into account the requirements of the Institute.

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.
