Role

Inclusion Scotland is a national network of disabled people, their organisations and allies. Through our partnerships we reach large numbers of disabled people across Scotland. We are a Disabled People’s Organisation – run by disabled people. 

Inclusion Scotland works to achieve positive changes to policy and practice, so that disabled people are fully included throughout all Scottish society as equal citizens.  

We support disabled people to participate and to be decision-makers themselves, promoting our equal representation and our right to make choices. 

At Inclusion Scotland our approach to diversity is simple: it’s about embracing everyone. From cultivating a culture where all team members can be their best at work, to deploying diversity initiatives that support and welcome all.

We’re working to build a more equitable workplace and society.

We are delighted to have opportunities for new people to join us and want to meet candidates who share our values and commitment to Inclusion Scotland’s mission. Applications from disabled people are particularly welcome. 

We are looking for a Participation and Policy Officer who will work to deliver the organisation’s policy, participation and research strategies as part of the Participation and Policy department and in collaboration with colleagues across the organisation.

The role involves set up and continued support to lived experience groups working on specific policy areas, liaising directly with disabled people to coproduce reforms and recommendations on key policy areas, and working with existing groups to review, revitalise and expand them. Collaboration with internal and external stakeholders will be critical to ensuring that the voice of lived experience influences decision makers and policy development.
