Our Vision and Values
Our vision is for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
At Mencap, we support people with a learning disability, their families, and their carers. We work tirelessly to champion a kinder, fairer, and more inclusive society where everyone can thrive.
Everyone at Mencap plays a part in supporting people with a learning disability — whether through direct care, providing advice, or working collaboratively as colleagues. Belonging at Mencap is for everyone, every day, everywhere.
We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where:
- Everyone treats one another with respect and helps make Mencap a welcoming organisation
- Every day is an opportunity to learn and grow — we embrace learning from mistakes and making positive changes
- Everywhere, people feel respected, valued, and safe to be themselves
To support this commitment, we have Belonging Network Groups that meet online and are open to all colleagues. These include networks for people who identify as Black and Asian, LGBTQIA+, disabled or with a long-term health condition, women, parents and carers, and their allies.
We actively encourage everyone to apply to work at Mencap. We offer a variety of contract types and flexible working patterns, and we don’t expect you to have previous experience. It’s your values, personality, and passion that matter most.
We’ll provide full training and development to help you succeed and build a meaningful career with us.
