New UoS Branch Communications Officer wanted

Have you been following the blog and the news bulletins?  Seen the flyers and the leaflets during the strike actions? 

Would you like to be the one producing the newsletters, writing the blog and creating the information media?  Rather than just following the latest stories, how about being the person who spreads the word by creating the Bulletin, the Blog or the leaflets and flyers?  This is a chance to use your creativity to form and shape the UNISON message so that everyone stays up to date and informed.

You don't need experience - there is training available and you will get all the support you need.  

If you are at all interested, please let us know by emailing unison@soton.ac.uk .
