As a first step I'll ask management about joining as an organisation

You may think, that the role champions as outlined are not sufficient - These are apparently only a "first go" at producing them and I guess we could well be looking at identifying other roles that don't appear on that list for example - Psychology technician or IT technician.

Heated - Role Profiles

Role Champions

You may recall I wrote to you recently about role profiles being designed by HEaTED, the new training body for technical staff. HEaTED held a major conference on the 10th June and Unite had around 20% of the 200 delegates attending as members.

HEaTEd are looking for technical staff who are prepared to act as "Role Champions" to develop good practice guides for new or developing staff.

Unite would like those "Role Champions" to be Unite members who are able to pass on their advice and support in line with trade union support.

The full list of the roles that the "Role Champions" are being sought for are as follows.

Technical Assistant,
Technician Audio Visual
Technician Stores
Technician Animal Welfare
Technician Support Central Services
Teaching Support -Arts
Teaching Support -Workshop
Teaching Support-Laboratory
Teaching Support -General
Research Support
Research Support- Laboratory or Workshop
Technical Specialist
Technical Supervision
Technical Management





If you are willing to assist in identifying the good practice elements for one or more of the roles then I would like to hear from you. If you think you can help but are not sure and want more details please let my office know as well.

Yours sincerely

Mike Robinson
National Officer
