Role

Since 2003, Lanarkshire Deaf Hub has been committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment, fostering a thriving space where deaf communities across Lanarkshire can connect, communicate, and collaborate. After 21 years, with a new development strategy in the pipeline to transform our organisation into a dynamic hub of activities, we are committed to delivering innovative programmes, projects, and services that cater to the diverse needs of deaf communities across Lanarkshire.

The role offers the chance to develop and implement innovative solutions, and to make a significant impact on both deaf communities and people’s lives.
