About the position
The Associate UniServ Representative (“AUR”) position is a temporary, limited-term position existing for training and developmental purposes. The goal of the AUR position is to enhance the skills and competence level of the incumbent to a point where he/she can successfully complete the full-time UniServ selection process (after one year) in order to be eligible to apply for future permanent labor representative positions with PSEA. The AUR will initially be exposed to intensive training and job shadowing opportunities with PSEA staff. As the AUR gains experience and competence within his/her role, the supervisor may assign the individual increasingly challenging work opportunities.
This position will provide assistance to labor relations staff who represent members and local associations, providing comprehensive support in bargaining and defending the rights of members and local associations in all areas of employment. Staff are also engaged in organizing, community relations, legislative/political activity, school reform activity, delivery of training, and strategic planning in their assigned service clusters.
Interested applicants should have an interest in labor and education and possess strong research, interpersonal, problem-solving, and writing skills. Successful applicants must be able to analyze complex issues, research and apply appropriate contract, legal, and policy provisions, and prepare documents related to the assignment. These individuals must also have self-supporting computer skills.
PSEA is looking for someone who is willing to make an initial commitment of two years to three years. This position is available now. This position offers a salary of approximately $70,000 and a comprehensive benefits package. A minimum Bachelor’s Degree is required for consideration.
