SIPTU is Ireland’s strongest trade union, fighting for the rights of workers throughout the island of Ireland in the public and private sector. We are establishing a panel from which vacancies over the next year or so may be filled as and when they arise.
Being an Organiser, you may find yourself working in our Strategic Organising Department, engaged in one of our campaigns on precarious employment, housing and childcare, in one of our industrial divisions or in our Workers’ Rights Centre, dealing with individual employment rights cases.
To do this job you’ll need good organising, negotiating and representation skills. You’ll need to be good at analysing, planning, and have good decision-making and problem-solving skills. You’ll need to be able to work as part of a team but also be comfortable working on your own initiative. You’ll need to be able to handle responsibility and be adaptable and resilient in changing situations. You’ll have to have good IT skills and a full clean driving licence is essential.
However, above all else, you will need to see this as something more than just a job. It’s certainly that, but you’ll need to have a set of values and a trade union ethos to ensure you are comfortable working on behalf of workers throughout the island of Ireland.
If this opportunity interests you, we would invite you to send us an up to date CV together with a letter of application setting out why you would like to work for us and, based on your experience to date, how you believe you can make a contribution to what we do.
Your CV and letter of application must be emailed to organiser2025@siptu.ie to arrive no later than 4 p.m. on Thursday, 19th June 2025.
Any applications after this date and time will not be accepted.
Depending on the number of applications received, a shortlisting process will be used to determine the candidates to be called for interview.
SIPTU is committed to creating an inclusive environment where equality, diversity and inclusion is celebrated, and everyone is afforded equality of opportunity. We offer working arrangements that promote work-life balance.
