• Equity recognises Unite as the staff group union

Equity is the UK trade union for professional performers and creative practitioners. Equity is respected as one of the most powerful entertainment unions in the world, and at the heart of the UK trade union movement. We are a growing union of around 50,000 members, proud of our strong organising and campaigning record.

Equity is hiring a new Policy Officer (Workforce Rights and Research) within the Policy & Public Affairs section. They will work under the direction of the Head of Policy and Public Affairs to coordinate, support and deliver the policy and research work of the union. This role is focused primarily on Equity’s work on employment rights, equality and health and safety issues.
Their day-to-day responsibilities will include developing Equity policy on their brief, advising our officers, members and staff, responding to consultations, conducting research and analysis and working with external partners. This role is an essential part of a team working together on wider political and communications outputs. It will also further support the union's activity within the broader trade union and labour movement, including the TUC, relevant think tanks and campaigning organisations.
