About this deal

The recent surge in membership demonstrated just how concerned workers were about low pay at Shelter. He is author of 56 books and 116 academic papers dealing with research and teaching of the English language. He has taught in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Malaysia. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. The trade union issued a statement this morning following an investigation bythe Guardian into the Alzheimer’s Society, where Hughes has been chief executive for the last ten years. Hopefully the improved pay offer will result in improved industrial relations at Shelter and we can build on this pay increase to end the low pay culture currently experienced by the charity’s staff.”

Samaritans advertised the chief executive post in October 2019, with the salary listed as negotiable depending on experience. When not teaching and writing, he grows vegetables and fruit in his garden, goes on long country walks and plays Irish traditional music on the fiddle (though not all at the same time). A spokesperson for Samaritans said:“Samaritans doesn’t recognise the claims made by Unite. The welfare of our staff and volunteers within a positive and inclusive working culture is of the upmost importance to Samaritans.” Timeline of Samaritans chief executive appointment

Unite regional officer Peter Storey said: “This is an excellent result that has been achieved by the tremendous solidarity and determination of our members. On the Pre-Sessional course Simon teaches postgraduate students who are just about to start studying at the University, helping them prepare for challenge of studying in a foreign culture. On the In-Sessional course, he supervises undergraduates, postgraduates and post-docs from all Cambridge departments and colleges, although he specialises in teaching scientists. He was also the main teacher on short academic English courses for visiting Chinese university students run by the China UK Development Council. Outside the Language Centre, he supervises undergraduates at Gonville and Caius College in academic skills.

Jeanne continues to do corpus research, about which she has published several academic papers, and to write materials.

Ruth Sutherland had been chief executive at Samaritans since 2015, and her departure was announced last year. Given the fact that the Samaritans is in the very early stages of recovering from a toxic bullying culture which has damaged the lives of many of its staff, Unite does not believe that Mr Hughes is the right person to heal the problems the charity has experienced. Since Unite began the industrial action dispute there has been a surge of union membership at Shelter with over 100 new members joining the union. Excellent result As a Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College for twenty years, she was also both an Undergraduate and Graduate Tutor. As well as his ADTIS responsibilities, he currently teaches undergraduate translation for the Spanish and Russian Sections at Cambridge, as well as Spanish literature to undergraduates at Fitzwilliam. He gives occasional seminars on translation techniques at colleges in the university.

Shelter workers secure pay victory and call off strikes Shelter workers secure pay victory and call off strikes

Unite, Britain and Ireland’s largest union, and Shelter’s management held extended negotiations last Friday (7 December) in a last ditch attempt to avert the strike action. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “ This was a significant result, our members were prepared to stand together in unity and by doing so were able to secure a greatly improved pay increase.The Charity Commission has said it will investigate concerns about the Alzheimer’s Society’s approach to dealing with staff grievances and that it is now looking into a complaint that was initially made in 2018. Members of Unite, employed by housing charity Shelter, are celebrating victory after agreeing a vastly improved pay offer. The decision to accept the new deal means that the scheduled strike due to begin tomorrow (11 December) has been called off. Extended negotiations After working as a teacher in Sweden, France, Malaysia and the UK, she joined Cambridge University Press, initially as an editor working on coursebooks. Later, as Publishing Director, she led a team specialising in the areas of grammar and vocabulary and became involved in the development of the spoken English sections of the Cambridge English Corpus – a large database of language use. Her interest in how corpus research can improve English teaching materials, especially with regard to the spoken language, inspired her next transition to writer. She is co-author of the internationally-renowned print and online courses Touchstone and Viewpoint published by Cambridge University Press, which draw heavily on corpus research. In her roles as publisher and author she has travelled extensively and delivered papers at several international conferences. Jeremy joins at an exciting time for us and I look forward to working with him to build on our recent successes to ensure that we achieve our mission that fewer people die by suicide.” Gaining a professional qualification as a Life Coach proved useful for the part of her roles that she most enjoyed - interaction with the students. She is looking forward to continuing this role as part of the ADTIS programme.
