At Supportability we are a charity providing opportunities and support for disabled adults and children to enable them to lead the life they want. We focus on valuing people, teamwork, being competent and responsive and these values underpin everything we do to make life better for the people we support.
‘Celebrating Supportability at 70’ is a Heritage Fund funded, fixed term project that investigates, describes and explains the heritage of Supportability to the people we support and the wider community.
Do you have what we are looking for?
The role will include working with volunteers, people we support and their families and the wider community in order to examine, preserve and interpret significant documents that relate to the charity’s 70-year history. It will also include researching further into other local archives and recording memories and experiences of both past and present stake holders. This will then be pulled together into an exhibition detailing the full history of Supportability, which will take place at a local library. Learning and historical materials from the project will also inform a digital timeline (web design/development will be externally commissioned) hosted on our website.
To ensure the project is accessible to the people we support the role will also involve organising (alongside our service managers) inclusive heritage themed events.
We aim to give people in the local community and beyond a greater knowledge of the history of disability support in Stockport and the part Supportability has played in that journey. Ultimately the project will be evaluated to ensure the outcomes and terms of the Heritage Lottery grant are met.
In return you can expect the following from us:
– 30 days holiday rising to 40 days with service (inclusive of bank holidays and pro rata for part time staff)
– Induction and Training Programme
– Pension
