Day support deputy manager jobs
Imagine working alongside young people who've challenged Meta's hate speech policies, won national awards, and brought a sofa on wheels to a protest. Coventry Youth Activists (CYA) is the UK's only youth-led campaign group run by and for disabled young people—70% of members have learning disabilities—and they need a Community Organiser to help them take on one of their biggest fights yet: defending SEND rights.
This isn't traditional charity work. CYA doesn't lobby for disabled young people—they campaign as them. From Mad Hatter's Tea Parties outside Facebook HQ to high-level negotiations with decision-makers, their approach is bold, creative, and effective. As one member puts it: "Leadership doesn't have to look a certain way... That's what we do at CYA."
What you'll be doing
You'll support CYA members to challenge urgent threats to their rights—particularly government reforms affecting SEND (Special Educational Need and Disability) rights. This means:
- Developing campaign strategies and power mapping decision-makers with young activists
- Facilitating actions, media engagement, and high-level negotiations
- Coaching young leaders and building their confidence to take the lead
- Creating alliances and expanding CYA's reach and influence
- Ensuring everything is accessible, inclusive, and driven by lived experience
You won't be doing this alone. You'll be part of Grapevine, an award-winning charity with years of community organising expertise, working within a supportive team that believes in joyful organising.
Who we're looking for
We want someone with proven campaigning experience and strong facilitation skills—but just as importantly, someone with creativity, a passion for justice, and the ability to work inclusively with young people with learning disabilities.
Essential skills and experience:
- At least one year's community organising or campaigning experience with clear evidence of wins
- Ability to work collaboratively and inclusively, especially with people who have learning disabilities
- Strong facilitation and communication skills
- Experience building alliances and developing others
- Creative problem-solving and a genuine passion for justice
Benefits include:
- Flexible working arrangements
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)
- 8% non-contributory pension (Grapevine pays the full amount)
- Employee Assistance Programme
- A culture of learning, reflection, and genuine support
Grapevine is a place where you'll have freedom with support, real opportunities to grow, and work that creates lasting impact. Our team describe it as a "powerhouse" that feels like a second home.
About Grapevine
We're an award-winning charity helping communities across Coventry and Warwickshire take collective action. We're nationally recognised for our community organising approach and we're accredited trainers for the National Community Organisers programme.

Church Urban Fund has a proud history of being good news within our low-income communities across England. We partner with churches, social action charities and different faith communities to end poverty together.
For almost 40 years, Church Urban Fund has been enabling and supporting mission and ministry amongst the lowest income communities. Over the years we have developed several programmes which have made significant grassroots impact. Despite this work, and the work of many others, levels of poverty and engrained inequality remain desperately severe, despite living in one of the wealthiest countries.
This newly created role seeks to help us resource churches across England, so that we can achieve our vision of ending poverty and doing this together. The successful postholder will be key in helping develop new resources that sit alongside our very successful Growing Good resource and form part of our expanding Knowledge Bank that enables churches to have the knowledge, confidence and connection to engage with social action as a core part of their mission and serve their local communities. This role will also be influential in helping plan and deliver our increasingly popular and well attended webinars and in person events.
Our core mission is shaped by the drive to end poverty in all its forms, by developing partnerships and programmes to create a movement of love, justice and mercy. We are inspired by Jesus’ ministry to be with and alongside and serve the most marginalised and vulnerable in society, and follow his teaching to love our neighbours as ourselves.
We are seeking someone who is passionate about resourcing local churches to have knowledge, confidence and connection in serving their local areas, is skilled in developing and refreshing resources, can be persuasive in encouraging churches to engage with CUF’s range of resources, and is experienced in managing events (online and in person).
If you feel that this role could be for you, we would love to hear from you.
How to apply
