Information sheet

  • Do you like learning new things?

  • Are you a good listener?

  • Do people often ask you for advice?

  • Are you a member of UNISON?

  • Are you wondering why you’re being asked all these questions?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then consider becoming a UNISON Lifelong Learning Adviser – A WHAT?

The role of the Lifelong Learning Adviser in UNISON is a new one. You can help a little or a lot.

  • Encourage people to take up training, for example, join a Return 2 Learn course.

  • Support colleagues who want to learn but think they’re too old, too thick, too anything.

  • Find out what training is available or needed, what skills people would like to develop – from computing to calligraphy, from French to Feng Shui.

A Lifelong Learning Adviser can’t guarantee time off or money to help you follow your dream but once trained they’ll know who to ask and how to ask and with the support of the local UNISON branch committee behind them, LLAs will be a force to be reckoned with. Health and Safety Reps have made the workforce safer, Lifelong Learning Advisers can make the workforce smarter!

8 - 10 December in Belford Road, Edinburgh

24 - 26 November in Resource Centre, Fitzroy Place, Glasgow
