We employ over a thousand people in diverse roles across Scotland. We are a supportive, safe and inclusive organisation. We need talented people to help us look after Scotland’s forests and land.

We are the largest provider of outdoor recreation in Scotland. We want everyone to enjoy Scotland’s wild places. We work to increase accessibility and to support communities.

As an executive agency of the Scottish Government, we are accountable to the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands. We follow the Civil Service Code and support the Scottish Government’s diversity and inclusion strategy. 

Please get in touch if you have questions about our diversity and inclusion work.

Our Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming Reports

We have four equality outcomes for 2023-27:

1. ‘Our workforce increases in diversity to reflect the communities we serve and the general population of Scotland.’

2. ‘Staff from and across all protected characteristics feel increasingly safe and included’. 

3. ‘Our policies, processes and practises continue to have a positive impact on equality and people from and across protected characteristics’. We outline our work on integrating equality impact assessments across the organisation.

4. ‘Our sites and services are increasingly accessible and inclusive. The removal of barriers is continued to ensure people from all backgrounds and communities can enjoy Scotland’s national forests and land.’ 

Our Mainstreaming Report 2023-2025 reviews progress on these outcomes.

Our Equality Impact Assessments

The Equality Act 2010 Public Sector Equality Duty applies to us. We produce Equality Impact Assessments on policies and services that affect the public or staff.
