There are 1.5 million children and young people with a disability (CYPD) in the UK. Over three quarters cannot access regular leisure facilities which massively impacts their health and well-being. Furthermore, the impact of living with a disability can have a significant impact on the wider family, with over 72% of parents reporting mental health challenges and over two thirds saying they feel isolated some or all of the time.
Gympanzees’ mission is simple. We want all children and young people living with a disability to have access to high-quality, fully inclusive leisure facilities so that they can enjoy fun, fitness, and friendships and support their families out of isolation.
Sounds simple, but it’s a huge task. There is nowhere in the UK like this. Anywhere. At all. But we’re changing that, and we want you to join us!

· A 6 year old taking their first steps
· A 12 year old sleeping through the night for the first time
· A 3 year old having his first laugh
· An 8 year old rolling over for the first time
Families have travelled from all over the country to enjoy the Pop Ups, some covering 6-hour journeys just for their afternoon of fun!

How we run the Trust underpins all the work that we do. We need supported, skilled, motivated and committed Trustees, staff and volunteers. We need to ‘practise what we preach’ by striving to reduce our own negative impact on the environment, for example, by reducing our carbon footprint. We also recognise the lack of diversity within our organisation and that we need to reach out to those in our community who are not well represented on our Board, or as part of our staff or volunteer team.
Working closely with the CEO, you will provide HR advice and leadership, looking after our staff across wellbeing, training, diversity & inclusion and employment systems & procedures. Managing the Support Service team, you will oversee office systems including IT (supplied by an external contractor), premises, vehicles and other resources as well as support the improvement, development and compliance with our policies and procedures, especially in relation to HR, safeguarding, EDI and H&S.
Reporting to the Head of Finance & Support Services, who focuses on strategic and operational financial management and audited accounts, you will manage a small team and a budget of c.£150,000. There will be a good degree of autonomy as the Head of Finance & Support Services is part-time. As with all charities, the Trust is constantly adapting and responding to issues in pursuit of our mission, so you need to be able to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced work environment.
