Bristol Disability Equality Forum (BDEF) are seeking Disabled applicants for two new roles.
BDEF is a Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO) which has operated in Bristol and the surrounding area for over twenty years. Their role is to reflect and represent the views of Disabled people to policy-makers and decision-takers, and enabling and empowering Disabled people to build their communities and represent themselves. They are wholly managed and staffed by Disabled people.
BDEF is emerging from a period of transition following the departure of their long-term Director in 2023. They have a new Board of experienced and enthusiastic trustees who are committed to guiding the organisation through its change to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and to securing funding for its long-term stability.
They have two vacancies for Disabled people to be part of shaping and leading this well-established organisation on to a new and exciting future.
