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.
Whatever the scope of your role - from ensuring posters, advice and guidance are displayed on the staff noticeboard, through to liaising directly with the head teacher or principal - we could not function without you.
Organising a workplace meeting could be a bit of a hassle. But there are many reasons why getting together with your union colleagues is a great idea.
The role of a National Education Union workplace rep is really rewarding and many of the skills you will develop are transferable to your professional life. And the role is flexible – you decide how much time you put in. Any contribution towards building your union is greatly appreciated.
As a workplace rep, you have certain rights under employment law.
For every type of rep, we have a comprehensive support and development programme for you to build your skills and confidence in union work
The more workplace based reps we have, the stronger the National Education Union will be. No school rep in your school? Why not recruit a colleague to become a rep or contact in your school or college?
