Information Manager null

WheelEasy is a unique charity; it provides the mobility-impaired, together with family and friends, the same opportunities as everyone to enjoy leisure time together; and in so doing, it promotes and advances their basic human rights and freedoms.
It does one thing only; it runs an access information web-app; a TripAdvisor for access; a genuine one-stop shop, consolidating accurate, current access info; on everywhere anyone would expect to go, and everything anyone would expect to do on a day out or trip away.
In the 21st century, it just isn't fair that some people can't get places that most of us wouldn't give a second thought to being able to access. You can help change that.

Job Description:

As a WheelEasy intern, you will actively contribute to a project aimed at assessing and enhancing the accessibility of places, in both the public and private arenas, in specific locations all over Australia.

Your role will involve building and expanding the WheelEasy web-app by adding accessibility information in a specific city (we are currently focusing on Canberra).
In this position, you will gather accessibility information, and relevant photographs, that you find online, on individual places, assess the information for relevance, and then create draft listings for those places to submit to the place owners.
Additionally, because WheelEasy is as much about providing ideas about activities as it is about individual places, you will be involved in the gathering of info about things the whole family or group can do together, for a day out or on a trip.

Why Join Us

WheelEasy offers students and altruistic volunteers a chance to help people with mobility impairments get out and enjoy life (students are encouraged to apply and will be guided through the process to complete their university placements with us).
This is a home/office-based role where you can contribute to a worthwhile cause with no specific training requirements. What we do require most is an empathy and understanding that everyone deserves to be included in life.
Although all the work is done remotely, we want you to be part of our team through more detailed briefings and regular check-ins on Zoom.
Although the position is unpaid, there are opportunities to join the team on business trips, with all costs covered. You may also have the chance to meet important figures at conferences and general meetings.
