There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over 500,000 nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support nursing practice, represent nurses at a local and national level, lobby the Government on nurses’ behalf, and support local and national development. 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, trade unionists and communicators, organisers, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… 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 the RCN officer (Reps & Activism) you will lead work in your region to empower our members to get active on workplace issues and support them in their activities. You’ll inspire activism, act as an enabler and recruit RCN reps. It’s a great opportunity for someone adept at networking and digital communications, as we’ll need you to build and foster relationships and engagement across our member-communities as well as support groups of members with collective workplace issues.
