Work with us
Help us make movement, connection and opportunity more inclusive
Mobilates is a not-for-profit social enterprise supporting disabled people and people living with long-term health conditions to move in ways that work for their bodies, health and lives.
We are building a team of people who care deeply about accessibility, inclusion and creating opportunities for people who are too often excluded from traditional exercise and employment.
Opportunities to work with Mobilates may include employed and freelance roles, teaching, volunteering, internships, lived-experience involvement and joining our Board as a Non-Executive Director. Live vacancies will be advertised below.
What it is like to work with Mobilates
A true purpose
The work we do has a direct impact on people living with long term health conditions, disabilities and social isolation.
Whether you are teaching a class, developing a partnership, supporting our community or helping to shape our future, your contribution should make it easier for people to move, connect, learn and take part.
Lived experience is valued
Mobilates was created from living experience, and all of our members, teachers, volunteers and team members understand the barriers created by chronic illness and disability personally.
We value professional expertise and lived experience. We believe the strongest ideas often come from bringing both together.
You will never be expected to disclose a diagnosis or personal medical information. We are interested in the insight, experience, values and contribution you bring.
A practical and collaborative organisation
Mobilates is warm, friendly and community-focused, but we are also ambitious about the change we want to create.
We are a growing organisation, which means people may sometimes work across different areas, test new ideas and help develop better ways of doing things. We value people who can think strategically but are also willing to get involved and help move agreed priorities forward.
Flexibility with clear expectations
We understand that people may be managing fluctuating health, fatigue, disability, neurodivergence, caring responsibilities or different ways of working.
Where a role allows, we will talk openly about working patterns, communication, meetings, breaks and other practical adjustments. Flexibility will always be balanced with the responsibilities of the role, agreed deadlines, safe delivery and the needs of our community.
Inclusion is not one-size-fits-all
Accessibility means different things to different people. We will not assume that the same recruitment process, working pattern or adjustment will work for everyone.
Depending on the role and what is practically possible, support might include:
Information and interview questions provided in advance
Applications in writing, video, audio or another agreed format
Additional processing time
Breaks during meetings or interviews
Adjusted timings or pace
Clear written information alongside verbal conversations
Flexible or remote ways of contributing
Regular conversations about access needs as they change
You are welcome to tell us what would help you participate fully. You do not need to disclose more personal or medical information than is necessary to explain the support you need.
Role descriptions will be available in different formats wherever possible. If you need information in another format, please email Leanne at [email protected].
Current opportunities
Join our Board as a Non-Executive Director
We are currently recruiting Non-Executive Directors across four areas:
These are voluntary statutory director roles, with reasonable expenses agreed in advance.
They are active, hands-on positions. We are looking for people who will contribute to governance and strategy, while also helping to move a small number of agreed priorities forward between Board meetings. These are not honorary appointments where someone attends a meeting every few months and has little involvement in between.
Candidates may apply for one portfolio or tell us that they could contribute across more than one. Covering more than one area is welcome, but it is not essential.
Commitment and ways of working
Approximately one active day per month outside Board meetings
Quarterly online Board meetings, including preparation and agreed follow-up
Home-based and flexible
Occasional external meetings or activities by agreement
Voluntary, with agreed reasonable expenses
Induction and support to understand Mobilates and the responsibilities of being a CIC director
