Are you looking for something extra?

We are actively seeking new representatives to play a role in our existing structure. Once trained and successfully through your probationary period you will be expected to conscientiously fulfil your chosen role.

Whilst you will be part of a team, you will need to be able to show -

• a degree of commitment and flexibility
• a willingness to learn
• a level of initiative and common sense
• good communication and interpersonal skills
• enthusiasm!

This is a voluntary position, and you will be expected to carry out your existing responsibilities, though reasonable time off to undertake the duties associated with this role will be facilitated and, in agreement with AXA, your workload reduced proportionally. The position offers a unique range of benefits, including formal training, 'hands on' experience, mentoring, personal development, increased self confidence, access to a wide range of information, and job satisfaction!

Amicus is the largest trade union in the UK, and has substantial membership in AXA. We support members in all aspects of their employment from individual advice and representation, health and safety, learning, through to pay and conditions negotiations, restructures and severance. To become one of our team you will need to have a strong belief in the trade union movement, and a commitment to supporting our membership.

What are you waiting for? For further information contact:

• Steve Blease (AXA Shared Services & UK) - 611 0356
• Richard Brooks (AXA Life) - 611 8172
• Steve Gooden (AXA Insurance - 611 0356

The number of reps has been agreed between AXA and Amicus in the July 2007 recognition agreement. Should more members want to be reps than there are positions available then an election would be held. The process for electing reps is described here.

Note for Managers & Team Leaders

On occassion we have to postpone formal disciplinary or capability meetings due to a shortage of experienced Amicus reps in certain regions, which isn't in anyones best interest. We know that some of you aren't keen on having union reps working for you, but it really isn't anything to be concerned about. Experienced reps can often give advice to members as well as managers about difficult situations, and can diffuse problems before they become serious.

Help us make it better!
