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. 

The Policy and Research Officer will work with guidance from the Head of Participation and Policy to deliver the organisation’s policy and research strategies which aim to achieve the vision of disabled people being fully included throughout all Scottish society as equal citizens.  

The role involves developing and delivering new policy and research activities as well as continuing existing projects, ensuring that outputs are accessible and available to disabled people. Critical to its success will be collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, and a focus on understanding members’ experiences and ensuring a strong evidence base is available to influence decision makers and policy development.
