Level Playing Field Chair Tony Taylor said: “The charity has seen a major increase in profile, particularly over the past two years, and integral to this has been the Media and Comms officer.
“Our ability to quickly mobilize and comment on key issues which directly impact disabled sports fans has enhanced our reputation. This along with proactive campaigns and a robust comms strategy has led to Level Playing Field being a leader in our area of work and recognised across England and Wales as the ‘Go To’ organisation when it comes to Access and Inclusion for disabled sports fans.
“There is, however, still a lot to do, and we want someone to join our already talented team and help us take the charity to the next level and to give us a greater presence.”
