Join our team and make a difference!
We are dedicated to creating a positive and lasting impact on the Down syndrome community. Through our unwavering commitment to support, educate, and empower, we strive to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome, fostering a society that embraces diversity and inclusivity.
We know that great people don’t always fit into a nine-to-five, office-based mould, and we don’t expect them to. As a home-based, parent-led organisation, we offer genuine flexibility around your working hours, and we’re proud to accommodate people managing disabilities, health conditions or childcare responsibilities. We can’t promise a long list of perks, but we can promise meaningful work, a team that understands real life doesn’t stop for a job, and the chance to make a genuine difference to families and children with Down syndrome across the UK.
We work towards a society where:
- every expectant and new parent receives the best possible care and support,
- the arrival of every baby with Down syndrome is celebrated,
- expectations for children with Down syndrome are high,
- every family is cared about and empowered,
- every professional is informed, trained and supported,
- every child and young person with Down syndrome has access to the best education,
- every adult with Down syndrome has the opportunities and respect they deserve,
- every person with Down syndrome is included, valued and celebrated,
- and where people with Down syndrome achieve the best outcomes possible.
