Our team & governance
Our staff combine lived experience, community understanding and professional expertise.
The Managing Director oversees strategy, partnerships and service standards. Managers oversee day-to-day delivery, support staff, monitor sessions and help ensure accurate reporting.
Wherever possible, female managers and Personal Assistants support female clients, while male managers and Personal Assistants support male clients. This promotes comfort, safeguarding and clear communication.
Many staff are native BSL users. Staff working with clients have Enhanced DBS checks and receive appropriate training, with Deaf trainers involved wherever possible.
Additional workshops help staff respond to the diverse needs of clients.
Volunteers build valuable skills, grow in confidence and strengthen the Deaf community. Their contribution helps expand our services.
Our trustees provide oversight and guidance so Deafinitions operates responsibly, ethically and in line with its mission.
