We aim to eliminate discrimination, promote equal opportunities, and protect the human rights of everyone we work with and for.
Whenever possible, we collaborate with other organisations and groups. This helps us to build knowledge and evidence of issues that affect people in Ireland. We use this knowledge to promote human rights and equality.
We strive to create a diverse workforce that mirrors Irish society. We value the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills of our staff. We want to create a workplace where everyone feels respected and valued.

We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups, candidates identifying with minority communities and those with a broad variety of backgrounds and experiences. This includes people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, Travellers, disabled people, LGBTQIA+ people and those with lived experience relevant to IHREC’s mandate.
