Race Relations Officer

Job Description

Despite vast improvements in recent times, racial abuse and discrimination are still evident in the UK. Even Premier League footballers Luis Suarez and John Terry became embroiled in racist incidents recently. Clearly, there is a long way to go before racism is completely stamped out of British society. This is where race relations officers come in!

Employed by government organisations, charities, local authorities, prison services, housing associations, the police force, and the NHS, race relations officers are given the responsibility of campaigning for racial equality and implementing schemes which are designed to make sure racial discrimination is combated in different areas of society.

Essentially, race relations officers use their up-to-date knowledge of equality and diversity policy to bring about change; conducting research, raising awareness of equality and diversity issues, and developing strategies to reduce racial incidents in communities, institutions and workplaces.

With such a diverse range of responsibilities, race relations officers are community workers, consultants, policy-makers and project managers all rolled into one. They provide direct support to people affected by racial discrimination; they build relationships with professional bodies and other relevant organisations; and they help companies to make sure their recruitment policies comply with anti-discriminatory legislation.

Equality and diversity officer: Job description


Equality and diversity officers work with different equality strands such as gender, race, disability, age, religion and sexual orientation. They work to develop and promote good relations and practices towards these minority groups. This may include community work supporting people who experience some form of discrimination and delivering diversity workshops to communities, staff and volunteers. Many roles also involve the development, monitoring and review of policies and strategies designed to ensure organisations, staff and stakeholders engage with legislative duties.

Equality and diversity officers also ensure that everyone has equal access to services and they aim to stop any negative attitudes. In major companies, officers may specialise in one particular area such as disability or race relations while those in smaller organisations may work across a range of strands.

* researching, applying and promoting diversity initiatives and sharing best practice;
* providing advice, guidance and support on equality and diversity issues;
