Our Scotland office
Our office is designed to create an engaging, collaborative, and professional space. It is adapted to support the ways of working that suit our people best.
There are break-out areas that are set up for working as a group, and quiet spaces that allow our people to focus. Our meeting rooms are adapted for hybrid working. Everyone can join meetings from home or from our other offices with ease.

Sarah, Manager
Working in a devolved office at the Commission has enabled me to gain a well-rounded view of all parts of our democratic processes and make a real difference in ensuring that as many people as possible are able to engage in our democracy. As a working parent, the flexible working arrangements which the Commission provides enabled me to take opportunities to develop my career while still being able to flex around the changing needs of my family.
