Jobs at Business Disability Forum
Are you motivated and solutions-driven? Do you want to play a part in changing the lives of disabled people?
We are Business Disability Forum – the leading business membership organisation in disability inclusion. We are a small, friendly, innovative-thinking, not-for-profit organisation that exists to remove barriers and improve the life experiences of disabled people by working with business, Government, and disabled people. To do this, we need the right people in our workforce.
Why work here?
You’ll be part of an organisation that exists to change people’s lives. “Rewarding work”, “stimulating”, and “feeling appreciated” are just some of the things our staff tell us they love about working at Business Disability Forum. We believe we offer great staff benefits, including an Employee Assistance Service (including access to counselling and other wellbeing services), private health insurance, life insurance and permanent health insurance, plus a 5 per cent workplace pension contribution.
An inclusive workplace
Disability and inclusion are central to why we exist. It’s who we are. We believe every individual should be given the opportunity to thrive and be their best without barriers in their way, and we want this for our own staff as well. While we rely less on ‘counting’ diversity profiles and we instead want to ensure everyone can work and develop in the ways that are best for them, over 60 per cent of our staff have told us they have a disability or long-term condition.
