Related work in local government is possible. Also work as a parliamentary adviser. Work is office based and mainly solitary, with some teamwork. New technology may mean more work can be done at home. There is increasing European involvement in some unions.
Jobs are restricted locations Most opportunities arise in London.
A few unions are regionally based. There is much independence whilst often working to deadlines. Can be stressful at busy periods. Working hours are fairly flexible with some evening and weekend work, such as for branch meetings or conferences, more likely in smaller unions. This is a vocation, not a job.
