    I wonder if a straight, white, middle aged, middle class male would even be considered for the job.
    why wouldn't they?

    it's all down to suitability - i'm sure if you could do the job well and understand the purpose of the role it wouldn't be a problem.

    This is a council job, suitability has nothing to do with recruitment.

    If you truly believe that, then I think you are kidding yourself.

    the very fact the op chose these two roles as being unessacary proves that there is still a need for these roles .

    if you have an equalities act then you need civil servants to help see that implemented surely? you also need senior management to oversee that. it might not be very high up on your agenda but it is important.

    In that case you may need an equaliries manager, not separate ones for each minority group.

    that is hilarious logic. basically any job that someone says is unnecessary must therefore be necessary.

    do we need a donkey corraler? not until someone says that we don't need one!
