We are seeking a dynamic individual with strong writing skills who wants to contribute to the UK’s leading campaign for assisted dying, and a charity leading the way to better dying in the UK.  The role would be ideal for someone seeking to become more actively involved in the not-for-profit sector, while gaining a greater understanding of how campaigns work.
