Top job! Research and Policy Manager - Equalities
- Full time
- £43,230 – £48,705
- Glasgow or Dalkeith
- Closing 31st January 2021
The Scottish Qualifications Authority is Scotland’s national awarding and accreditation body. We are trusted to oversee thousands of qualifications that are available in schools, colleges and workplaces, not just in this country, but around the world.
We are looking for a Research & Policy Manager to work within the Research, Policy, Standards & Statistics team with a particular focus on equalities. The key purposes of the role are to:
- Oversee the continuation and strengthening of activity to embed equality and inclusion in all SQA’s qualifications and assessment developments within the education sector
- Ensure SQA’s compliance with the Equality Act (2010) and Public Sector Equality Duty as they apply to qualifications
The successful applicant will provide leadership, technical support and management for a range of activities in support of these purposes. These activities will include maintaining a strong awareness of developments in equalities as they affect SQA’s work, providing advice, guidance and support on equalities issues to staff involved in developing qualifications and assessments, leading the preparation of Equality Impact Assessments and related documents, sustaining communities of practice and delivering training in their area of responsibility. Interaction with centres delivering our qualifications and assessments to provide advice and guidance on equalities-related issues will be a regular part of the role.
In applying for this role we would look for you to demonstrate your sound theoretical and practical knowledge of equalities in the context of qualifications and assessment development and/or delivery. It is essential that applicants can see the ‘bigger picture’ and draft succinct policy papers for senior colleagues often addressing complex issues. You must be able to work with a range of colleagues at all levels and disciplines within the team, the wider organisation and external stakeholders. Strong relationship building, presentation, and interpersonal skills are therefore essential.
The posts may have line management responsibility for up to two members of staff and it is expected that the successful applicant will have previous experience of line management and staff development.
Applicants, as a minimum, should be educated to SCQF Level 10 (Degree or SVQ 4) and/or be able to demonstrate direct relevant experience for this role.
SQA offer a fantastic benefits package in return for your talent. These include but are not limited to a career average pension scheme; staff well-being and health assistance programmes; development opportunities and 27 days annual leave in addition to 14 days public holiday.
Yoker Community Care for Elderly & Disabled aims to ensure that individuals that are elderly or experiencing physical and mental health issues can sustain an active life in their own homes as an alternative to full time health and/or care support. Based in Yoker Resource Centre, the Team Leader will work with staff, trainees and volunteers to address problems of social exclusion and isolation for disabled and elderly people enabling service users to participate in a wide range of community activities and services that will help improve their quality of life and support their ability to live independently.
Skills and Experience
Applicants are invited from those with leadership skills and a genuine commitment to understanding and working closely with people who are elderly or suffer sensory and/or physical impairment. Experience is preferable as is the ability to measure and match the needs of individuals at home or in the project premises. The post holder will require drive, initiative, and ability to communicate at all levels. The post demands supervision and arranging practical training for staff and voluntary workers, as well as the ability to promote and develop the needs for an integrated lifestyle for disabled and older people.
Genuine commitment and understanding of support towards residents in their homes or in the common facilities provided for their benefit is essential. Positive attitudes combined with a strong customer care approach are key qualities required. A willingness to tackle a wide range of tasks and work enthusiastically as part of a team is necessary.
Experience of needs assessment and working with support agencies to formulate a care plan would be an advantage as would an understanding of the emotional, physical and social needs of the elderly, disabled and their families.
