It's a job advertised by our local council. A friend would be perfect for it. He has all the soft skills in bundles, presentations, people skills, networking, communication etc and can give good examples.
He also has some DEI experience, has worked to increase ethnic diversity in construction and run a project to encourage girls in school football, supported partially sighted runners, but he hasn't worked formally in that kind of role and doesn't have any formal training or qualifications.
The job description includes offering advice on compliance with the equalities act etc. He can read up to prep and has a reasonable layman's understanding, but we're wondering exactly what they be expecting here?
From the salary it's positioned as a senior admin post, rather than leadership, and it's a 12 mth contract which, I'd think, might reduce the number of applicants...
