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. Our current S&O team is made up of three part-time support and outreach workers some of whom have lived experience of aplastic anaemia. Lived experience is hugely important to us but is not an essential criterion for this role.
As part of the Senior Management Team, you will bring the process, structure and programme-oriented approach to our successful range of support services. 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.
How to apply
To apply for this role please submit your CV and a supporting statement of no more than a page explaining, with clear examples, how your skills and experience match the job description and person specification.
