The STUC – Scotland’s Trade Union Centre – is seeking to recruit a Workers’ Rights Officer to join our Policy & Campaigns team.
The role will assist in the development and promotion of STUC Congress policy in relation to employment rights, the promotion of employment rights to low-paid workers to build their collective power, and the delivery of support and capacity building for unions and Trades Councils using the Scottish Government’s Fair Work Framework and employment legislation including emerging changes to rights within the Employment Rights Bill. The role will address Scotland-wide issues but with a focus on two localities.
Candidates must have a commitment to trade union values.
We offer an excellent package of terms and conditions, including a defined benefit staff pension scheme, 29 days annual leave plus 15 public holidays, and a range of family friendly policies such as support with childcare costs.

We have a flexitime system and a home working policy, with full-time employees able to work up to two days per week from home. This role may involve occasional evening and weekend work, and there will be some expectation of travel throughout Scotland.
