The Scottish Artists Union, the trade union for visual and applied artists and makers in Scotland, is recruiting a Learning Organiser based in the Highlands & Islands. The post involves organising and developing workshops, training courses, and events for members working in this geographic area as part of the union’s Scotland-wide Learning Programme. The programme will continue to be delivered using a blended model of both online and in-person learning sessions.
The SAU Learning Programme creates opportunities for artists to undertake training to improve their sector skills, address barriers to freelance work, and ensure equality of participation for artists as workers across the sector. All bespoke workshops and courses are free to members and are created in direct response to their needs; delivering specialist events on a variety of topics across Scotland and across disciplines. The union considers work-based learning a crucial intervention into the structure of freelance work, acknowledging its material conditions to organise around the workplace issues that artists face.
The Learning Organiser role includes developing, attending, and overseeing courses and workshops, representing the union at various events, facilitating members’ meetings and groups, meeting members, driving recruitment, and steering the union’s organising agenda in the H&I area. The Learning Organiser provides a public face and advocates for the union, making it better able to maintain professional constructive relationships, as well as recruit and retain members.
SAU offers a range of benefits including flexible working options, support for learning and professional development, a generous leave allowance of 5.6 weeks + 10 days public holidays (Pro rata), a 3% contribution pension scheme, and a generous budget for travel expenses and subsistence when working away from home.
