Description

The role

RCN Officer RCN Northern Region - Sunderland Office, 17.5 hours, Fixed term until 31 December 2023 (must be based in the region) As an RCN officer you'll use your positive attitude and your knowledge of health and care issues to deliver best practice in relation to employment practices, influencing and negotiating on behalf of our members.

Every day will be filled with possibilities as you find new ways to manage and support the development of our members and our accredited representatives.

You will manage your own portfolio of casework, which will include assisting and representing members with employment related issues and processes.

Taking care of our members will be your primary role, but you'll also see the possibilities that new members can bring.

A key part of what you do will be to suggest innovative approaches to support and grow our membership.

To join us you'll need to be able to advise and represent our members on matters relating to employment, professional practice and education.

Ideally, you will have a background in a relevant area such as health and social care and experience in supporting individuals or groups with work related issues.

However, we recognise that experience in other professional roles (such as human resources and legal services) can offer transferable skills and knowledge for this role.

We offer a robust induction and development plan for successful individuals to enable transition into the role.

You will need to have good communication skills, be able to challenge and negotiate skilfully and have the ability to work with a range of stakeholders across a variety of health and care settings.

You will need to be able to travel within the geographical area of the North East and Cumbria to enable us to support and advocate for our members when required.

Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do. To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything's possible.

The person
What we offer you We expect you to look after our members. And we expect you to be rewarded for it. Our pay is highly competitive with annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays.

We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme.

Balancing work and life commitments is important to us as an organisation. We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs. Many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. We offer generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.

As a result of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic most of our staff are currently working from home, with limited face to face meetings internally and externally.

This is under review in line with government guidance and to maintain safe working practices.

As this changes, we'll start trialling blended office and home working to empower our people to do their best work recognising that, to give our best, we must be able to balance the demands of work and home.
