This is a chance to use your skills in a way that has tangible, lasting impact: enabling Jewish adults with physical disabilities or vision impairments to live their lives to the full, with independence, dignity and security.
We are committed to improving the diversity of people involved in our governance so we especially want to hear from women and people living with a disability or have close experience of living with disabilities, as well as candidates from a wide variety of ages, backgrounds and socio-economic groups.
