**About AoD**
Action on Disability (AoD), founded in 1979, is one of London’s leading Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations. As we believe in the Social Model of Disability, our values and principles embrace inclusive and accessible ways of working both internally andin all our activities. We seek the participation and contribution of our members and encourage and respect diversity.

**About 'Our Place’ Independent Living Service**
As a Disabled Peoples Organisation (DPO) AoD’s Independent Living Service is seeking to recruit an experienced project lead through our 3-year National Lottery funded project called Our Place.

**About the Role**
This exciting opportunity is a new service that has been coproduced and will continue to be coproduced in its delivery, so we want to recruit someone who has experience of developing projects through coproduction and who has experience of supervising volunteersand can record, evaluate, report, and continue to develop projects.

**New Project 'Our Place’ - 3 Year Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund**
Our Place is a new project that will be facilitated and managed by AoD. It is a 3-year National Lottery Community fund project that will sit within our Independent Living Service. Our Place will create a community space and resource hub that disabled peoplecan call their own - led by them and facilitated by AoD staff, this service will be genuinely embedded in the local area, meeting needs expressed by local Disabled people to have their own place, and building links with amenities, businesses, and event spacesin Hammersmith and Fulham.

We want to enable businesses to feel more confident to welcome Disabled people and remove access barriers. We want to create an inclusive and accessible space for Disabled people to socialise, build skills, pursue interests, and develop relationships.

Our Place will operate alongside, and enhance, our current service provision. Central to this will be ensuring that Disabled people have meaningful ownership over the space, from Steering Board input to operational delivery. Activities will be determinedby users. Based on early-stage user input, likely activities might include leisure and training courses, seminars, talks, and enterprise development to develop skills that may generate an income. AoD staff will deliver practical advice, guidance, support,and signposting to more in-depth support. 'Our Place’ will offer training, volunteering, and work opportunities to meet expressed needs.

The service will build on current success with peer mentoring to develop a pool of individuals providing peer-to-peer support and working with the local community to improve inclusion.

**Disabled people will achieve their potential through four outcomes**:

- Increased confidence, knowledge, and skills through opportunities to lead, learn and do new things.
- Reduced isolation and improved mental well-being through a place to socialise.
- Equity of access and participation in the local community.
- Mitigation of the pandemic’s impact, through building new opportunities.

**Deadline**:9am Monday 16th January 2023
