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.
