• Experience in union organising, community advocacy, campaigning or a similar people-focused environment.
• Excellent communication skills and a natural ability to build trust and relationships.
• Confidence engaging with people from diverse backgrounds.
• The ability to motivate, organise and bring people together around shared goals.
