Role

Inclusion Scotland is a national network of disabled people, organisations and allies. We are a Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO) – run by disabled people ourselves. This is important because disabled people know best what prevents our full inclusion into Scottish society and what needs to be done to remove the barriers we confront. We know this through our daily lived experience. But too often our voices are not heard. 

Our vision is that Scotland is a society fit for disabled people. We seek a fully inclusive Scotland where every person knows and exercises their rights and can live their lives fully as equal, included citizens.

Inclusion Scotland works to achieve positive changes to policy and practice, so that disabled people are fully included throughout all Scottish society as equal citizens.  

We support disabled people to participate and to be decision-makers themselves, promoting our equal representation and our right to make choices. 

At Inclusion Scotland our approach to diversity is simple: it’s about embracing everyone. From cultivating a culture where all team members can be their best at work, to deploying diversity initiatives that support and welcome all.

We’re working to build a more equitable workplace and society.

We are delighted to have opportunities for new people to join us and want to meet candidates who share our values and commitment to Inclusion Scotland’s mission. Applications from disabled people are particularly welcome. 

About this role:

The Learning and Community Development Coordinator will work with guidance from the Head of Development and Engagement to grow community among disabled people and their organisations and to share learning, contributing to achieving the vision of disabled people being fully included throughout all Scottish society as equal citizens.  

This role has been created in response to the publication of the Disability Equality Plan and will involve supporting Scottish Government, funders and other stakeholders with delivery of the actions in the plan. It will involve working collaboratively with colleagues and partners to develop and deliver accessible and inclusive training and capacity building, and to measure the adoption of the learning from these. This work aims to expand disability competence of recipients alongside disabled people’s and disabled people’s organisations’ (DPOs) influence so that their rights are recognised and delivered in practice.
