The role has a salary of between £33,153 and £36,126 per annum on a fixed-term contract ending in 2024. It is expected that other roles of this nature will be created elsewhere. Dundee City Council and Dundee and Angus College have been approached for comment. From Monday, when the Period Products Act came into force, councils and education providers in Scotland will be legally required to ensure sanitary products are available to anyone who needs them. The legislation, originally proposed by Labor MSP Monica Lennon, was unanimously approved by the Scottish Parliament in 2020. A spokesman for the Period Dignity Task Force, which includes Dundee and Angus College, Angus Council, Dundee City Council and Perth College, said: “This new role, funded by the Scottish Government, has been created to promote and implement new legislation, specifically focused on project management. “The role builds on some fantastic work that has been accelerating in the Tay area over several years, led by a passionate team of people of all genders, ages and backgrounds. “With all the partners in the Equal Opportunities Employers task force, Jason was the strongest candidate. “By changing the culture, encouraging conversation and removing the stigma around periods, we look forward to supporting the delivery of this important work across the region.”
