Unpaid Opportunity for Someone With a Learning Disability. Position: Volunteer. Hours: As many as we want. Pay: Absolutely nothing. Are you a person with a learning disability who’s been told your work isn't worth paying for? Perfect — we’ve got just the role for you! We're looking for a "volunteer" to: Show up on time every day. Work your socks off. Smile for photos we can use in our funding applications. Make things we can sell — but don’t worry, you won’t see a penny. You won’t get a wage — but hey, we’ll call it “life skills” and charge you or your family in excess of £50 for the privilege of attending. No employment contract. No payslip. No career progression. But plenty of empty praise and Instagram-worthy photo ops. And when you create something brilliant? We’ll sell it in our shop and keep all the money — because we believe in “opportunities”, just not the kind that involve fair pay. Sound illegal? Immoral? Exploitative? It is. Time to take a long, hard look in the mirror. #EndTheExploitation #RealJobsForAll #StandOutSocks See more
