Applications are being accepted for the positions starting today and through July 22. The Governance Code for Public Appointments will be followed during the hiring process.

The Minister for Women and Equalities is mandated by law to nominate 10 to 15 Commissioners, including the Chair and the Commissioners for Wales and Scotland, as the Equality Hub sponsors the EHRC.

Commissioners are responsible for working with the Chair and Chief Executive to:

  • set the strategic direction of the EHRC

  • support the Chair in holding the Chief Executive to account
