About the role
Digital exclusion is recognised as a health inequality in its own right, and disabled people are disproportionately affected by it. This funding has been awarded to by the Community Foundation for Surrey Coronavirus Response Fund to support disabled adults with digital inclusion during the pandemic and into the recovery period.
Purpose of the role
The over-arching purpose of the role is to enable more disabled people to use a range of digital solutions in their daily lives to aid wellbeing and independence.
The role is made up of 3 parts: the delivery of one to one and group training for disabled people, the production of training resources including webinars and the delivery of monthly training sessions with our staff and team of volunteer Tech Angels. Additional opportunities to increase the hours include work on supporting our members to test and develop new and innovative apps as part of national projects working to improve independence and freedom for disabled people.
