The National Education Union represents the majority of teachers and education professionals in the UK. Whether you're a trainee, newly qualified or experienced professional, working in a local authority, maintained school, academy or independent sector school, sixth form college or FE/HE – you can join the National Education Union. If you are already a member and have just moved to a Camden school please update your membership via myNEU or contact membership@neu.org.uk.
Here, in the Camden District of the NEU, we have over 2,000 members consisting of headteachers, teachers, supply teachers, further education lecturers, teaching assistants, trainee teachers and education support staff. We have regular General Meetings and socials which all members are invited to attend.
Camden NEU is here to provide information and support and to give expert advice to all our members. Whether you need guidance about your employment rights or help with problems such as workload, bullying or accidents at work.
We can answer general queries and provide representation on a whole range of issues affecting you at work, from sickness absence monitoring, pay appeals and pay progression to disciplinary hearings both for individuals and collective grievances. Our elected Officers' contact details are below, or can be found on the Committee page.
We also provide excellent professional training opportunities locally and also at regional and national level.
