About Mencap
At Mencap, our vision is simple: for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy, healthy lives.
We support people with a learning disability, their families, and carers — and we’re committed to creating a kinder, fairer, and more inclusive society. Everyone at Mencap plays a part in this, whether providing direct support or working alongside colleagues who do.
Belonging matters here.
We expect everyone to treat others with respect, learn from mistakes, and help create an environment where people feel valued, respected, and safe to be themselves. We also offer a range of colleague-led Belonging Networks, open to all — including groups for Black and Asian colleagues, LGBTQIA+ colleagues, disabled colleagues, women, parents and carers, and their allies.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds. You don’t need specific experience — your values, personality, and passion are what make you a great fit. We’ll give you all the training and support you need to thrive.
