Are you passionate about the intersection between climate change, disability and the natural environment?

Are you interested in leading an innovative project that aims to create inclusive, climate-resilient urban spaces for Disabled people in London?

Over four years, the project will develop and test a scalable model of disability-inclusive climate action, with Disabled people recognised as leaders in resilience at local, city and national levels.

Centered around the principles of Social Model of Disability, the project focuses on the intersection of climate change, disability and the natural environment. It will remove barriers to participation so that Disabled people and Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations (DDPOs) co-produce how local climate solutions are designed, delivered and sustained.

The Programme Manager will have a central role in coordinating the partnership, will be responsible for programme planning, coordination, implementation and monitoring, and work with partners in the delivery of work packages. The Programme Manager will ensure co-production and the social model of disability principles and values are embedded into all elements of service delivery.

Please contact them if you have:

• Experience in the leadership of partnership environments with multiple delivery organisations.


• Commitment to the social model of disability, disability inclusion and lived experience of disability / long-term health conditions.


• Experience and interest in co-production and designing and delivering participatory and deliberative processes.


• Knowledge and interest in the intersection between climate change, disability and the natural environment.


• Experience in the management of multi-faceted projects in the themes of disability, inclusion, sustainability, climate action or resilience.

The organisation takes practical action to create a fair and green future in which people, places, and nature thrive. They support local communities and businesses to build capacity and resilience as this is vital if they are to tackle hardship, achieve a just transition to net-zero and help nature recover in a way that reduces inequality and leads to better work and healthier, happier lives.
