Learning and Development Accessibility Volunteer

Learning and Development Accessibility Volunteer Role Profile

To deliver our mission we need to support our workforce to develop and grow, no matter how they learn or what their needs may be. We are looking for a volunteer to join our Learning and Development team to support us in achieving this goal.

You will play a pivotal part in ensuring our content is accessible to individuals of all abilities, thereby fostering an inclusive learning environment.

Initially, you will support us reviewing our mandatory compliance courses to help us make them more accessible. Your observations and insights will be invaluable in supporting us to make continuous improvements.

The types of things you will be involved in but not limited to are:

• Support us to evaluate the current accessibility of our training courses, resources, and materials.
• Collaborate with content creators to integrate accessibility best practices into the design and development process.
• Use your previous experience to offer guidance on the use of assistive technologies and adaptive strategies.
• To support the team to promote awareness of accessibility best practices for staff and volunteers via creation of resources, providing information to assist in knowledge sessions or one-to-one advice within the team.
• To help advocate for the importance of accessibility within the organisation.

We are flexible and open to discussing how much time you can commit to the role and, as the expert in this field, what you think will be needed.

The role is very much open to being home based with opportunities to visit our Bristol or London offices if located nearby.

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their race, class, sex, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. At Young Lives vs Cancer, we don’t just accept difference — we value it, we celebrate it, we nurture it, and we thrive off it. 

We positively welcome your application irrespective of your background. We’re on a journey, and if you join us, you’ll be part of a community that’s committed to making a difference to the lives of children and young people with cancer. 

If you are interested in this role, please apply on our website. If need a little extra help completing the application form, chat to us. Get in touch with our team who are on hand to talk all things volunteering and help you get your application complete.
