Description

The role

RCN Officer, South East region Newbury Office, 35 hours, Permanent contract Salary range per annum £45,687 - £51,609 pa There is more to the RCN than you might think.

We're a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them.

We exist to make a positive difference - to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care.

Our employees are drawn from many walks of life - we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers etc.

together we are so much more. We couldn't do what we do without our people. We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.

As a RCN Officer you'll use your positive attitude, and your knowledge of nursing and employment issues to deliver a first class service for our members.

It's a job full of possibilities as you will get involved in managing cases for nurses in difficulty, engaging with RCN members including recruiting new representatives, as well as working with members in their local branch.

You will work with both NHS and independent sector personnel, and all of this with support and input from your local patch team.

We'll look to you to identify key issues for nurses in the workplace and to work with your team to address these.

It's a great way to build your knowledge of our work and develop your potential. To join us you'll need knowledge or experience of nursing and the issues affecting nurses. An understanding of employment issues is also required.

You will be non-judgemental, and have good customer service skills, and an ability to put our members at the heart of your advice and support.

You will work well as an independent worker, traveling to support members on employment casework, and as part of a team contributing to the wider success of the region.

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.

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

We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.

*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale.

We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience, and current salary.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn't fit all.

We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance.

Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver - whether that's to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles.

At the RCN it's unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
