Equalities Officer
Nottinghamshire County Council aims to be an inclusive and accessible place to work. Equality is everyone's responsibility, but we are looking for an experienced person to take forward this important and exciting agenda.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of delivering on an ambitious programme of work around equalities and have a deep understanding of how equality and diversity can be promoted across and embedded in a large, multi-functional organisation.
The role is a balance of policy development and operational support and advice, working within the HR team but having links across all departments and with our self-managed staff networks. We will offer a guaranteed interview to suitably qualified and experienced applicants who are disabled or who are from a BME background.
Disabled applicants who meet the essential shortlisting requirements will be guaranteed an interview. A job share scheme is available for all full-time posts: both permanent and temporary, unless otherwise stated. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff to share this commitment and undergo appropriate checks.
Nottinghamshire County Council strives to ensure that it goes beyond the requirements of the Equalities Act and prides itself on being accredited as a Disability Confident Leader Organisation.
Therefore, the County Council encourages applications from all, irrespective of gender, marital status, disability, race, religion, belief, pregnancy and maternity status, age or sexual orientation.
This vacancy is closed to applications.
