About the Project:

From Past to Present is an oral history project which will collect and share personal stories of people with learning disabilities and the professionals who worked with them in Kent, focusing on how support surrounding relationships and sexuality have changed in the past four decades. The project will train social care staff to become oral history interviewers, record interviews, and share this heritage through a public exhibition, events and a professional creative performance. The project is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and delivered in partnership with a range of local organisations.

About the role:

· Knowledge of social care and the rights of people with learning disabilities

· Excellent organisational and communication skills
