About us
The Equality and Human Rights Commission is the national equality body for England, Scotland and Wales and has been
awarded an ‘A status’ as a National Human Rights Institution by the United Nations. Operating independently as a statutory

marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
Overview of the role
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic individual to support us achieving our objectives in Scotland and across
GB. Representing the Commission through liaising and influencing key stakeholders including ministers, committees and
cross party groups is a key part of the role so the Commission’s priorities remain at the forefront of policy and legislative

include treaty monitoring, the Manifesto for Change (Disability Harassment Inquiry) in Scotland and implementation of the
Scotland Act (2016) including transfer of equality, welfare and finance powers to the Scottish Parliament.

To successfully undertake the role of Government and Parliamentary Affairs Manager you will need strong analytical and
drafting skills as well as the ability to lead and manage projects. You will possess detailed knowledge of equality and human
