An exciting opportunity has arisen at Bolton Council for a permanent Senior Policy Officer. This post will support a range of strategies and action plans to progress the Equalities, Inclusion and Diversity (EDI) agenda across all areas of the organisation. The post will strive to engage staff, residents, partners and wider stakeholders in the equity and inclusion agenda, building on our current portfolio to support EDI delivery and performance.

This is a key role within the organisation and as such requires a highly motivated individual, with excellent understanding of the Equalities Act (2010). The role requires someone with exceptional communication skills and the ability to work with a range of stakeholders, including our workforce and wider communities across the borough. Excellent analytical, organisational and project coordination skills are also essential to support the delivery and implementation of a wide range of programmes.

Applicants may have experience of working in a similar role, but we are also keen to hear from individuals that have worked in other sectors with transferrable skillsets. Candidates may also upload any supporting documentation such as a CV and also a covering letter to support their applications if they wish.

This is your opportunity to join us at an exciting time as we have strong ambitions for the borough.

Bolton is a great place to work. We are a welcoming organisation that wants to contribute to a place where people feel active, connected and prosperous. We are passionate about improving the outcomes and experience of Bolton people. We want Bolton to be a vibrant place built on strong cohesive communities, successful businesses and healthy, engaged residents.

As an employer we want to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment, by giving them the opportunity to access a range of exclusive rewards and benefits, including discounts and exclusive gym membership prices and salary sacrifice schemes. In addition, we offer a generous annual leave allowance, flexible work opportunities, access to a Pension Scheme, as well as a range of employee wellbeing and support services.
