We are primarily seeking a person with a strong policy and legal understanding in Human Rights and extensive experience in how this can be applied in policy and practice within organisations in a supporting context, particularly through a race equality lens. The person will therefore also need to have a high level of knowledge, experience and understanding in race equality and how this can be implemented within organisations in policy and practice.

The role will involve working within a small team to provide human rights and race equality consultancy support to public and third sector organisations which include the design and delivery of human rights & race equality training. The role will also involve working within the team to help facilitate policy engagement between mainstream organisations and ethnic minority communities.

As a Human Rights and Race Equality specialist, the person will also sit on high level policy tables to influence and input into national policies and strategies.
