Since 2004 the MS Therapy Centre (NW) (MSTC) has been supporting those with Multiple Sclerosis to lead more positive, enriched lives by providing complimentary therapies, Oxygen treatment, support and wellbeing services. It remains MS centric but also extends its reach to those with other neurological conditions, cancers and other specific conditions.
This is an exciting time to join our charity as we develop our new Centre based in Eccles alongside working on a strategy of cautious and sustained growth. We are looking for a dynamic and enterprising fundraiser to develop our work with trusts and foundations. They must be as passionate as we are about helping our members attain all that they can and wish to achieve.
You will need to be a team player with excellent communication and people skills. We require someone to be pro-active, resilient and good-humoured with excellent organisational and time management ability. Whilst working remotely you must be able to commute to the Centre on a regular basis. If you have a suitable background from working or volunteering in this area of fundraising then this could be an exciting opportunity for you.

About the organisation
The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) is the leading charitable organisation promoting the enjoyment, study and conservation of wild plants in Britain and Ireland. We aim to build a diverse community of skilled and enthused botanists, provide data and science to help address biodiversity loss and climate change and disseminate information to drive a passion for plants. To do this we provide opportunities for involvement for all through a range of participation projects, surveys, indoor and outdoor events, training opportunities and the production of books and other resources. Our Distribution Database (DDb) holds over 50 million plant records, making it one of the world’s largest biological recording databases and in March 2023 we published the third Plant Atlas, mapping changes in the distribution of British and Irish flora. Our latest organisational Strategy, available on our website, describes our future plans.
About the role
An exciting opportunity has arisen to become the first Administration Officer for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland.
