The Role

About our charity

At Mosaic 1898, we support over 2,000 people every week in Leicestershire who are living with disabilities.

Our team of over 100 dedicated staff members and 70 wonderful volunteers help make it all happen and work together to deliver a total of 12 different services for people in the Leicestershire community.

Our charity was founded in 1898 and since then we have gone on to change the lives of hundreds of thousands. Now, in 2021, we're far from finished and are looking for the latest additions to our team who'll help us further our reach and continue to make a real difference.
