Workplace reps
Whether in a school, college or elsewhere in the education service, the role of the workplace representative (rep) is a vital one for the National Education Union.
Our reps are the heart of the NEU – the largest education union in Europe. The role of a workplace rep is really rewarding and many of the skills you will develop are transferable to your professional life.
Whether in a school, college or elsewhere in the education service, the role of the workplace representative (rep) is a vital one for the National Education Union. Our reps help us build the union and support our members.
Becoming a rep is a way to bring about positive changes in the workplace. By training as a rep, you will develop your skills, help to grow the union by recruiting new members, and encourage others to get involved to build a strong and effective workplace group. The NEU will support you every step of the way with a comprehensive rep training programme.
We also provide tailored training for new and existing workplace, health and safety and union learning reps (ULRs). We have developed a comprehensive support and development programme, which enables reps to build their skills and confidence in union work.
Whatever the scope of your role - from ensuring posters, advice and guidance are displayed on the staff noticeboard, to liaising directly with the head teacher or principal, to representing your work colleagues - we could not function without you.
