SCVO strives continually to be a good employer.  We recognise the fact that our staff and volunteers are our most important asset.  Committed to a policy of equal opportunities and work / life balance, we seek constantly, as an organisation, to provide our staff and volunteers with an excellent working environment, which is safe, discrimination-free, and allows opportunities for flexible working patterns and development of opportunities.

SCVO interprets equality of opportunity in the most inclusive sense, embracing non-discrimination based on: age, gender, race, ethnic origin, nationality, religion/belief, culture, disability, learning difficulty, sexuality, sexual orientation (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transsexual), age, marital status, economic status, health status (including where a person has AIDS or a related condition or are HIV positive), parenting/caring responsibilities, political and / or trade union interest or activity, social background or other status.  This also applies to those who are on alternative work patterns such as part-time working or job sharing.

SCVO commits itself to regularly advertise its job vacancies on its site as well as on national platforms and socially-aware publications, both online and in print, to attract the best candidates for a post.  In this regard, every vacancy appears in the Big Issue in Scotland magazine and on the goodmoves website which specialises in recruitment in the Voluntary Sector.  

We pride ourself in the fact that our staff are driven by an ethos of commitment and service to, and development of, the Voluntary Sector in Scotland.

SCVO has achieved the Investors in People award.
