The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is launching an expression of interest application process to become a member of the new Independent Disability Advisory Panel, which forms part of this Government’s commitment to improving collaboration with deaf and people with disabilities and long-term health conditions. The purpose of the Panel is to convene and connect the expertise of people with lived experience into the design and delivery of health and disability policy and strategy.
DWP is looking for 10 individuals from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) with lived experience of deafness, disability, or long-term health conditions who have additional experience through:
- Working or volunteering for a deaf or disabled people's organisation or charity, or active participation in a health or disability related network, campaign, or research project
- Existing experience providing strategic advice on matters related to health and disability
- A strong understanding of the barriers faced by deaf and disabled people and people living with a long-term health condition in relation to employment, unemployment and economic inactivity
- The ability to work effectively with a wide range of people
This is a paid role, and applicants will be expected to dedicate 1.5 days per month to the Panel. The Panel will run until 31 March 2026, with the possibility to extend.
Full information on the role and responsibilities along with the application form can be found on GOV.UK.
DWP is committed to making reasonable adjustments to ensure applicants are not disadvantaged in the process and they strongly encourage applications from deaf and people with disabilities and long-term health conditions from all backgrounds.
Additional questions can be sent to [email protected]
