The RCN is at a very exciting moment in its history, and is now planning to embed, enhance and nurture member activism across the UK. We are establishing a Lead for Activist Impact role, to sit within the Activist Engagement Team in the RCN Activism Academy.

This post will play a key strategic role in the development of this new team, and in the delivery of the RCN’s Activism Strategy. The Lead for Activist Impact will line manage a small team and report directly to the Head of Activist Engagement. they will also work closely with the Lead for Activist Communities and other key stakeholders within the wider RCN staff team and the membership.

The Lead for Activist Impact will oversee a review of local RCN structures and develop and deliver a renewal plan, under the supervision of the Head of Activist Engagement, to improve Activist Engagement across the UK. The role will be responsible for recruiting and retaining activists and will support the engagement of activists across the UK.

The post is responsible for developing strategies and leading on plans to strengthen the reach and influence of activists, and to support the improvement of local activist structures making the RCN more visible and influential wherever we have members by enhancing local engagement.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape a new team at its inception and be part of something bigger than yourself.
