Designability are looking for a new Trustee to join our board at an exciting time and to make a meaningful difference through our work supporting disabled people to live with greater independence.
A bit about us:
Designability is a national charity that, for over 50 years, has created equality of opportunity for disabled people by removing barriers to independence, enabling them to live the life they choose.
Following a person‑centred design approach, and by including disabled people at each point of the design process, we ensure their ideas and lived experiences are taken on board and that what we create reflects peoples’ needs, as well as products and services they want to use.
We are best known for the iconic Wizzybug powered wheelchairs for very young disabled children. To date, they have been loaned to over 1,400 children, typically aged between 14 months and 5 years, across the UK completely free of charge, thanks to the support of our generous donors.

We would welcome candidates with experience in any of the following areas:
* A leadership role, relating to clinical delivery, or clinical trials and research involving medical devices.

* Significant experience of working with disabled people, including experience gained through a senior position in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, rehabilitation engineering or rehabilitation medicine.

You will be joining an independent, national charity based in Bath. Our creative and inspiring team includes engineers, technicians, product designers, occupational therapists, fundraisers and administrators.
