About Us:


The Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission ("the Commission") is an independent government agency mandated with administering the Human Rights Act.


The Commission focuses on two key areas:

providing a human rights dispute resolution process to resolve allegations of discrimination both on an individual and systemic level; and working to eliminate barriers and prevent discrimination through education, training, public engagement, and policy development.

Through this work, the Commission is helping to build inclusive communities and protect human rights in Nova Scotia.

The Dispute Resolution Division is an active unit within the Commission, employing close to 60% of the Commission's workforce.

The division's work is highly sensitive and focuses on the resolution of inquiries and complaints related to allegations of discrimination through various methods, such as resolution conferences and investigations.


About Our Opportunity:

Human Rights Officers ("HROs") play a key role in protecting and advancing human rights in Nova Scotia.

HROs are responsible for resolving inquiries as well as complaints accepted by the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission in accordance with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act.

Using restorative principles, HROs assess each matter assigned to them to determine the most appropriate and respectful way of resolving the matter.
