    *All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references.

     

    🌍 Our commitment to inclusion

    Mencap is an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from disabled candidates and individuals from Black and Asian communities, as these groups are currently under-represented within our workforce.
