Before you read on, please take a moment to read the reason one of our colleagues does what she does:
"Wasps doesn't feel like a job. To be part of something that makes such a difference to people's lives is amazing. Everyone needs be part of a community, not feel isolated and scared. Being a parent carer can be terrifying and I am passionate about keeping families' safe, confident and feeling happier. Parent carers can be lonely, have to leave work, loose friends and family due to their young one's needs. Their world becomes smaller. Working in WASP enables us to bring safety and laughter back to both the YP and parent carers lives., We're here for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities, young carers and families. We're on a mission to create a world where all kinds of children and young people have all kinds of opportunities. We create life-changing opportunities by providing a wide range of support. Together, we'll empower disabled children to stand up for their rights.
Childhood should be a joyful time. But some children and young people living with special educational needs and disabilities are defined by what they cannot do. That's wrong.
Every child should have an equal opportunity to play, learn, grow and thrive.
Because when the world says we can't, Kids say we can.
Our strategic plan will enable us to reach 120,000 disabled young people and their families, every year, by 2027.
We welcome applications from individuals with disabilities or those who have personal experience with disability. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. We are dedicated to making our recruitment process accessible to all, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments to accommodate the needs of disabled candidates and colleagues. For example, we ensure that our job advertisements are easily accessible, and upon request, we provide application forms in alternative formats, such as large print., Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion are fundamental principles that guide everything we do at Kids. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected and valued. We strive to ensure that all members of the Kids team have equal access to employment opportunities, promotions, and professional development. Our commitment to inclusivity is embedded in our business planning, organisational structures, values and the personal development plans of all staff members. We believe that by embracing diversity and promoting inclusion, we can create a stronger and more vibrant community for everyone.
