About HF Mencap:

HF Mencap is a local charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives. We work alongside people, families and communities to provide opportunities, promote independence and create inclusive spaces where people can thrive.

As HF Mencap continues to grow, we are strengthening the systems, processes and operational infrastructure that support our teams and services. This role is an important part of that journey.

We are looking for an organised, proactive and people-focused Operations & People Coordinator to help support the smooth running of our workplaces, operational systems and workforce processes across our organisation.

This is a varied and hands-on role that combines people coordination, operational administration, workplace organisation and compliance support.
