Job Coach - Bromley Mencap
About Us
Bromley Mencap is an independent, award-winning charity working with and on behalf of disabled people, their families and carers, based in the London Borough of Bromley.
We were set up as a learning disability organisation in 1951 by a group of parents with children who had learning disabilities. We started to campaign at local level and later began to provide services. In 2010 we joined together with Bromley Scope and changed our objectives to become a pan-disability organisation and opened up our services to all disabled people and impairments.
In 2017, we became a partner of Bromley Third Sector Enterprise (BTSE). BTSE delivers Bromley Well, which provides a variety of joined-up services to support local people to stay both emotionally and physically well, avoid or delay the use of health and social care services and remain independent.
Our Vision
For disabled people to have improved life chances, independent living opportunities and not be discriminated against.
Our Mission
Providing services, support and information to disabled people, their families, dependants and carers leading to independent living opportunities / improved life chances and challenging discrimination through campaigning, lobbying and promoting user representation.

We run a wide range of services for disabled people of all ages, carers and families leading to independent living opportunities and improved life chances. We campaign and provide representation to ensure the views of disabled people are heard and taken on board.
Bromley Mencap is an award winning local charity providing a wide range of services, activities and support for disabled people of all ages, their carers and families in the London Borough of Bromley.
