Could you be our Advocacy Manager?

Our lovely Advocacy Manager Lucy has a new job as Chief Officer for Healthwatch Sheffield.

We are looking for an exceptional person with experience of both delivering advocacy and management. This is a unique opportunity to work within a small local disabled people’s user-led organisation. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of disability or long term impairments.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
