About ADD International

ADD International envisions a world where ableism no longer exists and disabled people experience full rights and justice. Our mission is to resource disability justice activists and organisations, promote lived-experience leadership, and influence fairness in funding so that disability justice movements thrive.

We are becoming a participatory grantmaker. This means moving more resources directly to disability justice activists and sharing decision-making power with them about how funds are distributed and used.

Job Purpose

This is a senior leadership role responsible for the strategic development and implementation of ADD’s Participatory Grant Making, Movement Support, and the Global Disability Leadership Academy.

You will manage a new team (including heads of grantmaking, learning and impact, and the Disability Rights Leadership Programme) and shape this unit as our strategy evolves.

• Ensure lessons learned shape future strategies.

Resource Mobilisation

• Work with the Director of Funding to cultivate new funding opportunities.
• Represent ADD to donors and partners.

Safeguarding Responsibilities

• Ensuring safeguarding is integrated in all work.
• Complying with and promoting ADD’s safeguarding policies.
• Reporting any safeguarding concerns.

Person Specification

• Experience working with disability justice organisations.
• Ideally, experience in participatory grantmaking.
• Strong team leadership and management capabilities.
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and solutions-focused mindset.
