As we said a few weeks ago, Lina, our amazing branch organiser / administrator since 2019, has moved on to greater things as Branch Development Officer for UCU Scotland as a whole. We are therefore looking to recruit a new person into our local branch organiser position, and the advert has just gone live…

It’s a permanent job at £42.7k pro rata for 22.5 h/wk (so £27.5k) – roughly the equivalent of an MPA mid-grade-7 role at UofG. The job advert and details for application are here:

The main job is obviously to keep the branch running through maintaining membership lists and organising meetings, but also particularly through supporting the development and implementation of recruitment and organising strategies, organising events and meetings to support local campaigns, and building and maintaining networks of activists.

It’s a critical role for the branch, so please do advertise it as widely as you can – as a branch, UCU Glasgow has been incredibly lucky to have Lina in this role for the last six years, and we hope to have someone equally brilliant and enthusiastic to keep us all organised for the next many years to come…

Closing date for applications is 5th June at 10am.

If you would like to talk to someone about the role, please do get in touch with any of the officers or committee – https://glasgow.web.ucu.org.uk/committee – or you could contact Lina directly to find out what it has been like – https://ucuscotland.wordpress.com/about/
