Location and Working Hours:

The specific timings within those hours are somewhat flexible depending on pre-existing meetings and can be negotiated with each candidate.

Application Process

** Send applications to [email protected] **

1st stage: Initial Application (Deadline 9th Nov 23:59).

Please send a CV and covering letter to [email protected] that covers the following:

  • Why you think disability advocacy is important (we want to know what you think, not what a generative AI thinks here)
  • Your availability throughout the week (please see the above section on location and working hours)
  • Any experience or skills not present on your CV (please don’t repeat information that is already on your CV)

We will assess your initial application as follows:

  • We will check whether you have followed the application’s instructions. Applications that don’t cover the three points above as asked won’t be considered. This is because one of the skills required is “attention to detail”.
