We are looking for a collaborative, driven and problem-solving candidate to design and lead our core support projects and improve the way we make life better for people affected by aplastic anaemia.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high performing team within the AAT. Our team is small, but mighty.

You will be helping to give people living with aplastic anaemia access to better information, better networks and better ways to advocate for themselves. 

This opportunity is for a permanent contract, starting immediately. You will work 35 hours a week, and we encourage flexible working. However, the team does generally operate during core office hours (between 9am to 5pm) and there are regular team meetings on Thursdays.
