The Commission’s role is to encourage high ethical standards in public life. It promotes and enforces the Codes of Conduct for Councillors and Members of Devolved Public Bodies and issues guidance to councils and devolved public bodies. The Commission adjudicates on cases of alleged contravention of the Codes of Conduct referred to it by the Commissioner for Ethical Standards in Public Life in Scotland, and on finding a contravention, it has statutory powers to impose sanctions.
We are looking for two talented individuals to join the Commission – one as the Convener and the other as a Member. You must be committed to the highest standards of conduct, have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to absorb and analyse information to reach sound and impartial decisions.
The Convener and the Member will be appointed by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body with the agreement of the Scottish Parliament.
