HR Policy Officer

Are you an HR professional who enjoys providing expert advice, shaping people policies and helping to ensure an organisation remains a lawful, trusted and effective employer?

The HR Policy Team sits within the Employee Experience Division in the People Directorate. We are a small team of HR professionals responsible for developing and maintaining clear, consistent and evidence-based HR policies that support effective people management, organisational compliance and a positive employee experience across the Scottish Government.

Working closely with colleagues across the Scottish Government, public bodies and sponsor teams, we develop and maintain policies and guidance covering areas including attendance, conduct, discipline,, grievance, performance, wellbeing, propriety and the prevention of harassment. We also provide expert advice to managers and staff and support organisational governance through activities such as scrutiny of severance and settlement cases.
