Everyone wants to make a difference, right? But how many of us can actually say that our work has a positive impact on the lives of other people, day in, day out? This is an exciting opportunity to work with WECIL’s biggest team and make a difference to disabled adults and families from the Somali and other migrant communities.

We are looking for a self-motivated and passionate individual, someone with strong personal values and a desire to make a difference to people’s lives. Experience working in Social Care is an advantage, but not essential. The role offers incredible job satisfaction, flexible working, excellent holiday entitlement and opportunities to develop as part of a systems thinking team.

This role is open to anyone however, if you have a lived experience of disability and receive or have received a Direct Payment or has a family member who receives a Direct Payment and can speak a language used in the Refugee community, we are particularly interested in hearing from you.
