About the Role

We are seeking an accomplished senior-level professional to join our team as Assistant Director, Employment Relations and Union Services. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside a third Assistant Director and contribute to the development and delivery of our strategy and overall work as a trade union.

The successful candidate will be responsible for leading our team of Senior Negotiating Officers and Legal Officer, working closely with other trade unions across health and public services, and deputising for the Director of Employment Relations and Union Services.

This is a full-time, permanent position, and we are also hiring a part-time temporary role. Please ensure you are applying to the relevant job posting.

About You

We are looking for an individual with extensive experience in trade unions and high-level negotiations. A proven track record in managing and leading teams is essential.

You should be a strategic thinker with strong problem-solving abilities, paired with exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including expertise in advocacy, presentations, and public speaking.

Additionally, you must have in-depth knowledge of the key issues currently impacting our members and other healthcare professionals, along with a comprehensive understanding of UK-wide health policies.

Why Work for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy?

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy is the professional, educational, and trade union body for the UK's 65,000 chartered physiotherapists, physiotherapy students, and support workers. We strive to create a culture characterised by innovation, respect, encouragement, passion, and teamwork.

We offer an excellent benefits package, including 27 days' annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata), Christmas office closure, and a generous pension scheme with 12% employer contribution.

We operate a hybrid working model, allowing employees to work between their home and the office. While we do not stipulate the number of days in the office, employees can decide, through discussions with their line managers, how, when, and where they work best.

We are committed to equity of opportunity and aim to provide a working and learning environment free from discrimination. We particularly encourage applications from candidates under-represented in our workforce, including those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people.
