Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

• Can this be stopped?

Currently, research into preventing and treating sight loss is chronically underfunded, receiving a mere 1.2% of publicly funded health research grants: people who are blind or vision impaired are three times more likely to experience loneliness and isolation than the general population.

We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight. Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will prevent, treat and cure eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing life for blind and vision impaired people.

We have a clear ambition, led by our CEO, Keith Valentine, who has valuable lived experience of sight loss. We’ve secured well-respected and highly engaged ambassadors, such as Sir John Major and Frances Segelman.

Tinnitus UK is the UK’s only charity dedicated to tinnitus.

We want to see a world without tinnitus and have just launched an ambitious new 10-year plan setting out what we are going to do about finding cures and preventing people from getting tinnitus, where it is avoidable.

Today though, there are nearly 8 million people in the UK with tinnitus, with well over 1 million of them in or near crisis point. Whilst the majority of people end up being able to live well with tinnitus, the journey can be long, arduous and isolating with periods of significant impact. Care and support for people with tinnitus needs to improve and that’s one of the most important drivers of our new plan.

We are looking for a talented, creative and dedicated marketing professional to join our small but powerful team to help us deliver our new plan.

If you have experience of direct marketing and are looking for a busy, challenging, but rewarding role where you get to see the impact of your work on improving the lives of people with tinnitus, please get in touch.

We will be actively recruiting so please apply as soon as you can. If you would like to find out more about the role, we would be happy to arrange an informal call.
