Equalities and Welsh Language Officer - Partnership Services
Job description
37 Hours per week

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Communications, Marketing & Engagement team. We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Equalities and Welsh Language Officer who has a passion for ensuring compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty and Welsh Language Standards.

You will provide advice and guidance to council staff, partners, schools and elected members on all aspects of equalities and the Welsh language to inform decision-making and service improvement, as well as supporting the development and monitoring of key strategic documents.

Knowledge of the Equality Act 2010, and the Public Sector Equality Duty as well as Welsh Language Standards and regulations is required, however there will be many opportunities to develop your knowledge in these areas if appointed into the post.

The successful applicant for this key post will be a motivated team worker with a passion for working with the community, key partners and service providers to support the council to meet its statutory equalities and Welsh language duties.

An ability to communicate clearly and effectively is key to this role, as is a "can-do" attitude, exceptional organisational skills, a natural ability to work to deadlines and a commitment to delivering high standards of work.

Whilst the ability to communicate through the medium of Welsh is essential for this role, welsh learners are also encouraged to apply as there will be opportunities for the successful candidate to further develop their welsh language skills whilst in post through ongoing training and development.

This could be an opportunity for someone internally on a seconded basis.

Closing Date: 22 December 2021
