- Passionate about, and share our vision, that people with a visible difference should be able to live the life they want to lead, free from prejudice and discrimination.
- Interested in what makes a first-class campaign and can share their ideas about the types of content needed to engage different audiences.
- Willing to get involved and work as part of a team, helping to make sure our campaigners get the right training so they can use their voice to make change happen.
- Organised and focussed, to help maintain high standards, from following style guidelines to write great copy, to regularly monitoring our media coverage to help evaluate our work.
If this sounds like you – we would love to hear from you!
Equality and inclusion are at the heart of our mission and we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are always looking for talented people from all backgrounds, including those with a visible difference or disfigurement, to join us.
