About Us
Welcome to the website of the Devon Partnership and Community Health Branch of UNISON.
We're the largest trade union representing, campaigning and negotiating for workers across the Devon Partnership NHS Trust and community in a wide range of roles from administration to housekeepers, nurses to porters, scientists to cleaners and carers across the community.
Our Members
UNISON members are people working in the public services, for private contractors providing public services and the essential utilities. They include frontline staff and managers working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, the police service, colleges and schools, the electricity, gas and water industries,transport and the voluntary sector.
Our Stewards
We have a team of accredited local representatives made up of workers across both trusts and private employers. Are you interested in helping your colleagues at work? Contact Us for more information.
Our Campaign
UNISON campaigns and lobbies on key issues affecting our members and the public at large. We’re working to protect and improve public services, win equal pay and employment rights for everyone, improve safety in the workplace and end discrimination and harassment at work.
If you're in a union, you're never alone.
We live in unsettling times. The NHS and Private employers are under immense pressure to deliver on a budget that has been cut since 2010, that means more pressure on staff, there has never been a more important time to ensure that your concerns are heard and by joining a union you are being part of that collective voice.
