Job title: Community Advocacy & Sheffield Voices Manager
Office Location: The Circle, 33 Rockingham Lane, Sheffield, S1 4FW
Salary: £34,000 FTE
Pension: 5% employer contribution, 3% employee contribution (minimum)
Hours: 28 – 35 hours per week

Closing date: 8am, Monday 2nd June, 2025 (Late applications and CVs will not be accepted)

Main Purpose of the Job
We are recruiting a new, senior post that oversees all of Disability Sheffield’s Community Advocacy work on a day-day basis to ensure that our work is as high-quality, consistent and impactful as possible.
This role will directly oversee both the established Sheffield Voices project and the pan-disability / non-LD community advocacy work. It will be a key role in Disability Sheffield’s newly formed senior management team (SMT) and will be the recognised deputy for the CEO in their absence.
From a Sheffield Voices perspective, you will lead a small but busy team of the project Coordinator, a pool of sessional workers and volunteers and support the core Sheffield Voices group itself to deliver effective, accessible community advocacy for the learning disability community and autistic people across Sheffield, centred around the Big Voice events.
From the pan-disability side, you will manage the Engagement, Communication and Policy Officer and a similar pool of session workers and volunteers to Sheffield Voices, but the initial priority here will be more about developing the core model to build this work on that helps us to coordinate activity more effectively across various work strands and social issues.
