Salary range £47,745 - £53,934 per annum plus London Weighting if applicable

There is more to the RCN than you might think. We have committed to developing a powerful new voice for our members with the creation of four new networks. We have ambitions for them to be a nurturing space for emergent voices. We want to build their democratic foundations to build influence and drive real change. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. 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, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.

As our first EDI Member Network lead you will use your community development skills and your EDI expertise to develop and sustain our four member EDI networks. You will use your ability to mobilise people and groups into creating a powerful voice mechanism for our membership.

It's a job full of possibilities as you could get involved in anything from carrying out research into the lived-experience of network members to ensuring that their insights are heard at the highest levels of our internal governance. We'll look to you to use your substantial experience of delivering programmes of work in order to deliver specific equity outcomes to get these networks off the ground. Your ability to work in partnership with our members will see you developing important alliances across our entire membership structure. You will design and deliver an engaging events programme as well as the democratic architecture that places members first.

The ability to foster strong professional relationships and encourage close collaboration between departments is at the heart of this leadership role.

You will need current specialist knowledge of community development and EDI as it relates to working across diverse communities as well as substantial experience of delivering programmes of work in order to deliver specific equity outcomes as well as experience of designing and delivering community or member capacity-building. You will also have strong research and analysis skills alongside strong group facilitation and communication skills.

You’ll also need the ability to research and co-produce a range of member-facing resources as well as co-ordinate and develop member networks.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
