WheelEasy is a unique charity dedicated to providing mobility-impaired individuals, along with their families and friends, equal opportunities to enjoy leisure activities together. It promotes and advances their basic human rights and freedoms.
Its core activity is running an access information web app — a TripAdvisor for access — consolidating accurate, current accessibility information for various destinations and activities.
In the 21st century, it is unfair that some people cannot access places that most of us take for granted. You can help change that.
Job Description
As a WheelEasy intern, you will contribute to assessing and improving accessibility in public and private venues across Australia, focusing on specific locations such as Canberra.
Your responsibilities include building and expanding the WheelEasy web app by adding accessibility details for various places. This involves gathering online information and photographs, evaluating their relevance, and creating draft listings for review and submission to venue owners.
You will also assist in collecting ideas for activities that families and groups can enjoy together, enhancing the platform's offerings for leisure and outings.
Why Join Us
WheelEasy offers students and altruistic volunteers an opportunity to help people with mobility impairments enjoy life more fully. Students are encouraged to apply and will receive guidance to complete their university placements with us.
This is a remote, home-based role that requires empathy and an understanding that everyone deserves inclusion. No specific training is needed, but regular briefings and check-ins via Zoom will keep you connected with the team.
While the position is unpaid, there are opportunities to participate in business trips with expenses covered and to meet influential figures at conferences and meetings.
