Campaign Director

Are you driven by social justice and motivated by creating real, lasting change? Are you a strategic campaign leader who can turn public will into political action? If so, we have a job for you.

We are looking for a Campaign Director to provide overall day-to-day leadership of the Partnership with The Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP). You will be responsible for driving forward an ambitious integrated campaign, which combines political influencing, press and digital communications, public campaigning, and coalition mobilisation. Reporting directly to the Chair, the Campaign Director ensures the Partnership’s strategy is coherent, impactful, and responsive to political and public opportunities.

In this role, one eye will always be to our impact and the lasting legacy of our campaigns. Success will be measured in terms of real lasting social change – the extent to which DCP has driven positive shifts in policy, practice and attitudes through our campaigns, and whether our influence has shaped the narratives, priorities and actions of others beyond the lifetime of the campaign.

This role is a fixed‑term position (22.5 hours per week, worked over 3 days) until June 2027. We’re open to discussing how these hours can best work for you. Some on‑call and out‑of‑hours working may be required.

At Mencap, we offer flexible and hybrid working. The role involves at least fortnightly in‑person meetings at the Contact office in London N1, with opportunities to also work from Mencap’s Head Office in London E1.

The Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP) is a major coalition of 130+ organisations united by a common vision: improved health, education and social care for disabled children, young people, and their families. Together we campaign to secure the policy change, public awareness, and political attention that disabled children deserve.

Our current focus is our high-profile Fight for Ordinary campaign. Together we are calling for reform of the SEND system, so that children with special educational needs or who are disabled can enjoy the ordinary things that other children take for granted, like having a nursery, school or college place, being safe in school, making friends, and taking part in activities in and beyond school.

What you’ll do

• Lead and evolve an integrated strategy across influencing, media, digital and grassroots mobilisation.
• Build and nurture a high‑performing coalition, aligning 130+ partner organisations around shared objectives and moments.
• Anticipate and seize political and media opportunities; brief spokespeople and partners; and steward relationships across government, parliament, arm’s‑length bodies and civil society.
• Champion co‑production with disabled children, young people and families - so lived experience shapes priorities, messages and tactics.
• Set clear goals and KPIs; commission insight and evaluation; and report transparently on outcomes and learning.
• Act as a visible ambassador for the DCP, representing the Partnership in senior forums and the media.

What you’ll bring

• A strong track record of leading multi‑channel campaigning that shifts policy, budgets and public narratives.
• Deep experience of political strategy and stakeholder management (government, parliament, local systems, sector leaders and media).
• Credibility and facilitation skills to align diverse organisations behind shared priorities—and keep them moving.
• Commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, and experience of co‑producing campaigns with people who have lived experience.
• Analytical and outcomes‑focused mindset - you use data, insight and evaluation to prioritise, pivot and scale what works.
• Inclusive, values‑led leadership that builds trust, clarity and accountability across partners and teams (aligned to Mencap’s values and behaviours.

If you are passionate about creating meaningful, lasting change for disabled children, young people and their families, we want to hear from you! Apply now with an updated CV. Applications close on Sunday 15th March. Interviews will be held week comencing 23rd of March.
