Job: Digital Officer

We are ParalympicsGB, the National Paralympic Committee for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Our success is built on the amazing performances of disabled athletes, people who show that talent and potential is strong across all of society. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, reflecting our passion for disability inclusion.

Our ambition is to use the positive power of the Paralympics and of Paralympic athletes to inspire a change in attitudes to disability and bring about equality for disabled people in sport, education and society.

We listen to and learn from athletes, the disabled community, and the sport, education and disability sectors.
