About the role:

We understand that a spinal cord injury can be devastating, but we believe it shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting the most out of life. And we’re here to help make sure that can happen through our range of services that are designed by, and delivered for people affected by spinal cord injury.

As our Services Manager, you will oversee some of our most impactful delivery, including our Courses service, Vocation service, Digital services, and our award winning Mentoring service.
