The role

Overcoming MS is the world’s leading healthy lifestyle organisation for people with MS, recommending a holistic, evidence-based seven-part Program of healthy lifestyle habits that will impact symptom load as well as disease progression. The Program is based upon the work of Professor George Jelinek, who evaluated all the research on lifestyle and MS to create the original version of his book, Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis. In recent years, there has been ever increasing interest in lifestyle and MS, and the body of research is systematically increasing. Overcoming MS therefore has a need for someone to regularly review the most recent research, update our Program recommendations, and ensure we communicate the latest updates with our community – working alongside our Medical Advisor. In the medium to longer term, we would like to identity research gaps and have a role in influencing, or even commissioning, lifestyle research to add to the current research base.

Key Responsibilities:

• To oversee the Overcoming MS Program recommendations, ensuring our advice always adheres to the latest and most robust evidence.
• To review each of the seven Overcoming MS pillars, review the evidence available, making any changes as needed. Work with the team to communicate any changes within the community, including leading the development of new tools and guides as needed (eg How to talk to your GP about testing vitamin D levels).
• To identify gaps in the existing Program based on new research (eg sleep, intermittent fasting etc), reviewing the evidence base and making recommendations on adaptations and support tools (subject to IP owner approval).
• To foster solid relationships with key stakeholders (including Facilitators and expert advisors) to ensure buy in and understanding in any updates or changes to research evidence and the Program.
• To create a research strategy, to maximise Overcoming MS’s credibility and reputation within MS lifestyle research.
• To support the communication of new studies published in reputable journals, enabling Overcoming MS to quickly understand the relevance to our community and the Program, formulating an action plan and supporting a public response where relevant.
• To support Overcoming MS’s public profile, giving credibility and expertise in the research behind the Program, including presenting at conferences, submitting articles and posters for publication, etc.
• To support the collation of impact evidence to demonstrate the value of Overcoming MS to individuals and as part of funding applications.
• To create a network of external research advisors, possibly creating a Research Advisory Group, to ensure oversight of upcoming research as well as diversity of opinion on research outcomes and their impact.
• To identify potential partners to collaborate with on research projects that corroborate the existing Program, fill research gaps, or build additional independent evidence around healthy lifestyle and MS.
• To manage the research section of the website.
• Longer term, to create a position for Overcoming MS in identifying research gaps, influencing new research, the role of the Overcoming MS community in research projects, and (subject to funding) commissioning research.

At The Lullaby Trust our vision is clear: a world where no baby dies suddenly or unexpectedly, and every grieving family gets the support they need. We exist to keep babies safe and support bereaved families. 

We give families a safer start to life and create a supportive space for anyone whose baby or infant has died suddenly or unexpectedly. We empower families and health professionals with trusted advice on keeping babies safe, backed by research, and provide grieving families with bereavement support, side-by-side.

Since 1991 we have reduced the rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by 82% and saved the lives of over 32,000 babies. But our work is not over, as three babies still die suddenly and unexpectedly a week. 

About the role

1. To be responsible for the management and enhancement of our Raiser’s Edge (RE) database including new and  complex data requests and selections, and integrations with external platforms

2. To provide training in Raiser’s Edge to the organisation

3. To be The Lullaby Trust’s Data Protection Officer

This role can be offered as a hybrid role (with approximately one day per week in our London office) or fully remote, with occasional visits to the office for meetings or staff days as necessary; the two salary ranges above reflect this. The 21 hours could be worked across 3-5 days per week.

It is a key time to be joining The Lullaby Trust as we have just launched our new brand positioning, new website and creative direction, to help us reach more families and supporters than ever. We are a friendly, flexible employer and want to create a diverse and inclusive work environment for everyone. 

If this excites you, we would love to hear from you. For more information on the role and how to apply, please have a look at our job pack and apply through Charity Job.
