Membership and Engagement Lead

Are you passionate about inclusion and human rights? Do you want to be part of bringing people together to work for change?

We are looking for someone to be a Membership and Engagement Lead in our small team that works with hundreds of members to help them promote and build Good Lives with people with learning disabilities.

Learning Disability England works hard to be member-led and this post plays an important role in that. They are responsible for making sure all our work with members, partners, and the wider community demonstrates Learning Disability England’s values in action.  

We have two part-time Membership and Engagement Leads in our team. They work together to support members and the movement for change.  

One of our Membership and Engagement leads is going to be leading a national project for the next year. This post is currently temporary to cover that secondment.  

About Us 

We are a small staff team of 7 people mostly working part time. All of us are home based and work flexibly. Annual leave  entitlement is 27 days plus Statutory Holidays pro rata

There are different lead roles in the team but being small we support each other and work with members and partners to achieve as much as can together. 

Learning Disability England is a membership organisation that brings together people with learning disabilities, family members and people in paid roles to make a difference together.

Being led by what is important to our members is central to how we work. Working closely with the Representative Body and other team members to support being member led is an important part of all our jobs. 

Diversity matters to us. We particularly welcome applications from people from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds as they are currently underrepresented in our organisation.   

We will be conducting online interviews on 29 August 2024
