We’re looking for a creative and dynamic person who can manage the day-to-day communications, social channels, website and content, but who can also see the potential for growth and the long-term picture. We’re a growing and changing organisation so the post will suit someone who can work independently and likes a high degree of autonomy in their work.
This post will be part of a small but dedicated core staff team at DSUK. We work across the UK from the mountains in Scotland to Hemel Hempstead, and the communications officer will work with colleagues across a wide variety of locations and will be part of the fundraising team on a day-to-day basis.
You can work remotely or hybrid office/home from our base at Glenmore Lodge, Aviemore or Chill Factore, Manchester.
DSUK seeks to engage with disabled people, and in particular young disabled people who want to be active and take part in something that’s fun. This will also mean reaching out to parents, allied health professionals and organisations that work with disabled people.
We also work with the snowsport and travel industries to increase the number of disabled people taking part in snowsport.
We’re particularly keen to hear from candidates who are disabled or who have other experience of life with a disability or long-term condition. Applications from people who would like to work on a freelance basis are welcome too.
Disability Snowsport UK's mission to make snowsport accessible for everyone; regardless of disability, injury or experience.
