PaCC is the parent carer forum for Brighton and Hove. We represent parents and carers of children and young people 0-25 with special educational needs and disabilities in Brighton and Hove. We work in co-production with Brighton and Hove City Council, NHS Surrey and Sussex and others to improve local SEND services and support for local families. PaCC is hosted by local Sussex based charity Amaze.

This is a great opportunity for a proactive and passionate person with lived experience to empower and amplify the voices of parent carers in Brighton and Hove. You will thrive on managing multiple projects and workstreams, juggling priorities and working in a small team, where you are able to plan and prioritise your own work. You will be a ‘people-person’ with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, to grow engagement in PaCC and strengthen our impact.

This is a flexible, hybrid role where lived experience really matters.

We are committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe having a diverse workforce at all levels allows us to represent the communities we serve.

We want to employ staff who have lived experience of disability themselves and/or as a parent/carer of a child, young person or adult with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), and have an excellent understanding of the issues faced by SEND families
We particularly welcome applicants from Black Asian and minoritised ethnic communities.
