DASH - Advice and Support Worker
Details of the Charity:Share this
We believe that disability is caused by the way society is organised and run. Disability is not caused by a person’s impairment but by a lack of access to equipment, services, employment/educational opportunities, and an appropriately designed environment.

They would need to be computer literate and able to research information and advice about local facilities, benefits or signpost them to the relevant service required. They should be sociable, willing to engage with people and ask relevant questions in order to see what help is needed.
