HRCS has a unique job opportunity within its Migrants Project, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

Our Human Rights Participation Officer is central to the ongoing success of the project. The role focusses on promoting and developing a greater understanding of human rights by people who are migrants and how human rights relate directly to their lives.

Connections and relationships with Scotland’s migrant communities are essential and the Participation Officer works closely with them. There is also a small project steering group which provides advice and guidance. Applicants will need to have experience of engagement and participation work with marginalised communities, an understanding of the issues faced by migrants in Scotland and a detailed knowledge base of human rights and how they relate to people’s lives.

The role is fixed term for 18 months and is part-time (14 hours per week/0.4 FTE) with pay of £11,932 per annum. Other terms and conditions are in line with the HRCS standard contract.

HRCS is a hybrid organisation with a team base in central Edinburgh. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all that we do.
