We believe disability innovation is part of a bigger movement for disability inclusion and social justice. More than a product, a service or policy, disability innovation is a way of thinking to address disability challenges by co-designing solutions and sharing knowledge.

We work across 5 domains, disrupting current ideas and practice by bring together new partnerships to overcome the barriers that exclusion and poverty creates in relation to disability.

• Research: creating new knowledge, solutions and products
• Innovation: growing inclusive innovation ecosystems
• Programmes: testing what works
• Teaching: learning and sharing knowledge
• Advocacy: evidence-based outreach

We are solutions-focused experts in Assistive Technology, Inclusive Design, and Culture & Participation. We stimulate entrepreneurship by developing bold approaches, partnerships and ecosystems to accelerate change.

Based in East London and a legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, we deliver world-class research, ideas and inventions, creating new knowledge, solutions and products, and shaping policy through co-creation, participation and collaboration. GDI is composed of an Academic Research Centre (ARC) led by University College London (UCL) and a Community Interest Company (CIC) and is guided by an Advisory Board of disabled people. We operate in 15 countries and expect to impact 15 million people by 2024.

GDI Hub values inclusion as a core business success factor. We actively seek to attract collaborators from diverse backgrounds and particularly welcome applications for this role from people with impairments themselves, and people from black and minority ethnic (BAME) communities. The role is offered on flexible terms, including location and hours of work (though right to work in the UK is required), and the accommodation of reasonable adjustments is business as usual for us.
