The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) is seeking a Division Organiser to join our South Australian Division in a rewarding, purpose-driven role. This is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful campaigns that support members, strengthen collective action and advance the interests of staff across universities in South Australia.
Working as part of a committed organising and industrial team, you will play a hands-on role in recruitment, campaigning and member engagement, working closely with Division Officers, Branch Committees and activists across the state.
This is a part-time position (0.8 FTE), primarily based in the Adelaide Division Office, with allocated time working across SA university branches, including Flinders University, requiring regular travel.
