It also relies on the valuable financial contribution made by its income generating activities such as its shop, café, conference rooms, corporate events and concerts. It is a very busy place, attracting 200,000 visitors a year to the Cathedral, its churchyard and medieval herb garden. The Cathedral relies on a small but dedicated team to be inclusive and welcoming to all.

About Designability

Designability is a national innovation charity advancing inclusive design across the UK.

The world is full of barriers for disabled people because society is not designed with everyone in mind. For disabled people, those barriers can take away things that everyone deserves: freedom, confidence, and opportunity.

But it doesn’t have to be that way — not if we design and build differently. And that’s where we come in.

By collaborating with disabled people, we dismantle unfair barriers and turn lived experience into practical, creative solutions that unlock everyday independence. From prototypes to sketches, and from problems to solutions, we engineer products and services that make the inaccessible accessible — and we help brands, other charities and designers do the same.
We are at an exciting point in our nearly 60-year history. We have launched our biggest ever research project — The Unfair Index — exploring everyday barriers disabled people face. We will be launching a new international award winning, world-first product — The Accessible Pushchair. And we continue to deliver our flagship service, the Wizzybug Scheme, providing free powered wheelchairs to very young disabled children across the UK.

The Role

We are seeking a highly organised individual to support the day-to-day administrative functions across finance and operations. This is a varied role suited to someone who is detail-oriented, commercially aware, and confident managing multiple priorities in a busy environment.

We are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good.

We work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse. We want what you would want for your best friend. We listen to survivors, putting their voices at the heart of our thinking. We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well. And we challenge perpetrators to change, asking ‘why doesn’t he stop?’ rather than ‘why doesn’t she leave?’ This applies whatever the gender of the victim or perpetrator and whatever the nature of their relationship.

Last year alone, nearly 13,500 professionals received our training. Over 70,000 adults at risk of serious harm or murder and more than 85,000 children received support through dedicated multi-agency support designed by us and delivered with partners.
