About United Voices of the World (UVW) 
UVW Union is a member-led, general workers’ union fighting for the rights of the UK’s most exploited and marginalised workers – many of them migrants – who are often overlooked by the traditional labour movement. We have won historic victories through powerful industrial and collective action, including being the first union to end the outsourcing of facilities workers in higher education and the NHS. Joining UVW means being part of a collective force that challenges injustice and builds power from the ground up. 
 
About the Role 
As a UVW Organiser, you’ll join a dynamic team at the forefront of our mission to build power and solidarity in workplaces and communities through collective, legal, and direct action. 
 
Focused on Portuguese and Spanish-speaking migrant workers in low-paid sectors, this three-year, donor-funded role is central to UVW’s mission. You will advise, represent and organise workers to build collective power through strikes, direct actions and negotiation — to transform their workplace conditions from the ground up. 

• Essential: Fluency in Spanish and/or Portuguese. 
• Highly Desirable: Previous experience in trade union or community organising.
