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.

The EIS is currently recruiting for two vacancies within the Organiser team for permanent full-time positions.

The work of the EIS Organiser team involves building and applying organising capacity by supporting Local Associations, reps and members. This involves campaigning, the recruitment and retention of Institute members including probationers and newly qualified teachers, attending branch and Local Association meetings, contributing to national and local CPD events, supporting disputes and nurturing new activists. Organisers may also carry out casework at establishment level in support of members, including investigatory hearings.

Of the posts being recruited:

- one which will be based primarily within EIS Headquarters in Moray Place, Edinburgh; and

- one which will be based primarily within the Institute’s Dundee Area Office located in Broughty Ferry Road, Dundee.

Applicants may apply for one or both of these posts.

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 Institute and its members.

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

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.
