The role

Working closely with the Charity Manager, you will support both our communications activities and day-to-day operations.

Communications

You will help plan, create, and schedule content across our digital channels, including LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. This will involve:

Operations

You will also support the organisational side of the charity, including:

• Assisting with fundraising initiatives and campaigns
• Supporting the organisation of scientific meetings and family conferences
• Contributing to the smooth running of day-to-day charity operations

As a small team, we value flexibility, initiative, and a willingness to contribute across different areas when needed.

What we offer

• The opportunity to contribute to work that directly impacts patients and families worldwide
• Hands-on experience in science communication and non-profit operations
• Flexible, remote working (one day per week; £100 per day )
• A role that can be balanced alongside academic or professional commitments

This is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking meaningful experience in the rare disease and research space while developing practical skills in communications and charity operations.
