About the role
We have an exciting position for someone who wants to build a career in policy and campaigns. You will play a vital role in promoting Deaf and Disabled people’s rights to local and national decision-makers and raising awareness of the structural inequalities facing the Deaf and Disabled community in London and the UK.
You will be eager to support DDPOs to secure policy change at local and national government levels. You will do this by analysing national and local policy developments that affect Deaf and Disabled people’s lives, gathering evidence, drafting policy papers and briefings, and coordinating DDPOs to work together to design and implement influencing strategies.
The role will focus on campaigning to secure affordable accessible housing for all Deaf and Disabled Londoners.
You will receive regular support from colleagues to develop your knowledge and skills across a range of policy areas.
About you
Then this job might be for you! This role will give you the chance to work across a range of policy and campaigning disciplines, including media, activism, lobbying, research, and peer support, to make a real difference to the lives of thousands of Deaf and Disabled people in London and the rest of England.
IL is committed to equality, diversity and human rights. As a DDPO, we welcome applications from all Deaf and Disabled people, especially those from Black and racially minoritised communities and the LGBTQI+ community.
What we offer
We know our organisation flourishes because of our committed staff. We value initiative and will encourage and support you to develop your talents and skills, including accessing relevant training. You will learn a lot on the job and will be supported by senior colleagues to develop your skills. We provide a flexible working environment to enable our employees to enhance their personal and professional development.
We support flexible and hybrid working, with a combination of home and office working at our fully accessible office in Vauxhall. Staff are expected to work from our fully accessible office in Vauxhall for part of the week and attend in-person meetings, events and outreach activities across London as required, including engagement with DDPOs and other stakeholders.
