Our mission is nothing less than full equality and inclusion for Deaf and Disabled people, with our communities leading the change we need to see.

About the roles

We have two exciting junior level positions for people who want to build a career in policy and campaigns.

Then this job might be for you! You can be a recent graduate, someone who is looking for a career change, or someone who wants to build on their existing policy skills. This job will give you the chance to work across a range of policy and campaigning disciplines, including media, activism, lobbying, research, and peer support, to make a real difference to the lives of thousands of Deaf and Disabled people in London and the rest of England.

IL is committed to equality, diversity and human rights. As a DDPO, we welcome applications from all Deaf and Disabled people, especially those from Black and racially minoritised communities and the LGBTQI+ community.
