Employment References

 

If you’ve been offered a job outside of the Parliament, congratulations! The organisation you’re applying to may request an employment reference from us as part of their recruitment and selection process. We’re committed to providing accurate and timely references. The People and Culture Office provides references on behalf of the Corporate Body so all requests must be directed to them and not to your manager.  The organisation asking for the reference should email humanresources@parliament.scot. Your manager may give a general character reference if they want to, but this won’t be specifically about your work here and will not be on Parliament headed paper or be from a Parliament email.
