Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom Royal College of Nursing Full time
Adviser x 2 (Trade Union and Professional Body)

RCN Cardiff Gate Office. Hybrid working offered post induction.

Permanent, 35 hours per week

FTC/Secondment and part-time (no less than 21 hours) will be considered

At the Royal College of Nursing we're an optimistic organisation. And we've got good reason to be.

We all share the same voice when it comes to changing the shape of the health policies of the future.

And as the largest trade union of nursing staff and students in the UK – with over half a million members – all we can see are the infinite possibilities for a brighter future.

Join us and you will too.

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 an Adviser you'd be making a real difference to RCN members.

Every day of the year, our Contact Centre provides telephone and written (email and livechat) support on a wide range of work-related topics.

You can see the breadth of our advice by visiting the 'Get Help' section of the RCN website:


The role is demanding and would particularly suit those from a contact centre, trade union, HR, legal, advisory, care or nursing background.


Advisers receive comprehensive training allowing them to resolve around two-thirds of contacts themselves and arrange further support where members need local or specialist RCN services.

Our calls are not scripted, allowing our advisers autonomy to help our members.

You will be required to work in the office for approximately 6 weeks to undertake your induction training. Following this you will work in the office for at least a couple of days a week. This is to allow us to fully support you in your journey as an adviser.


The adviser role involves evening and weekend work, but because we know that work life balance is important, the rota is published at least four weeks ahead.

Currently advisers work up to one weekend in four on a predictable rotation, changing to one in five in 2025.


We are a very friendly team, highly supportive of one another, and we make a huge difference to the lives of our members.

Instead, we require people who have insight and relevant life skills and experiences.

Those applying should ideally have knowledge of employment law, workplace relations and professional issues facing RCN members as well as the ability to build rapport quickly.

The issues that advisers deal with can often be distressing, so candidates who can maintain personal resilience and demonstrate professionalism in challenging circumstances will be more successful.

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

Balancing work and life commitments is important to us as a diverse organisation, and we understand everyone has different needs.
