Could you be our next Trustee?
Every hour, two people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s. In fact, it’s the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.
Parkinson’s doesn’t discriminate. Anyone can get it.
Despite this, evidence suggests where you live, your income, ethnicity or gender can impact when you’re diagnosed and the support and services you can access.
We want to change that. We can and must do more. We want to remove barriers so that everyone in our community can access the right support and services, tailored to their needs.
To do this, we are building a diverse and inclusive board that reflects the community we serve. By having a diverse network of people working right across the charity we’re more likely to make breakthroughs that change the lives of people with Parkinson’s.
In the last 50 years, we’ve invested more than £120 million in cutting-edge research to uncover the causes of Parkinson’s. We believe we’re close to finding a solution. But to get there, we need more people like you!

Guided by the Parkinson’s community, we’ve shaped our strategy ‘Every Parkinson’s Journey’ for 2023 to 2026. Our strategic aims are focused on improving access to health and care; improving our community offer and continuing with our groundbreaking research.
We're a growing organisation with 605 employees, 4000 volunteers and a projected income of £43m. The Board of Trustees and its committees govern the charity with diligence and enthusiasm and make sure we're financially stable, well-run, and delivering what the Parkinson's community really needs.
Our trustees and independent committee members come from a wide range of backgrounds and have diverse experience, which we draw on to guide and oversee the charity’s work. Trustees share this responsibility both individually and collectively. This requires Trustees to contribute in an informed and active way to all aspects of the Board’s work.
What you’ll bring
To complement our collective skillset we are looking for a new Trustee to join the Board (currently comprising 13 Trustees) who is, or who has significant and recent experience as a Parkinson’s health and care professional in the UK, to help oversee the charity’s activities in health and social care.
We welcome applications from candidates, who can demonstrate the following:
-
Substantial specialist Parkinson’s clinical experience in a UK health or social care setting
-
Good understanding of wider issues and opportunities in UK health and social care, for example in:
- the delivery of services to people with Parkinson's and/or
- educating and developing the workforce
-
Understanding or willingness to learn about what it means to be a trustee
-
Willingness and availability to devote the necessary time and effort
-
Ability to work effectively as a member of a team
-
Effective networking and communication skills to represent the charity with external stakeholders
Who can apply?
It’s vital that the people who work for Parkinson’s UK are representative of our diverse community. We actively encourage people from all sections of the community to apply, regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic group, gender identity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion.
