Job description

Make a Difference Every Day

At PSPA, we support people living with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD)—two rare and complex neurological conditions. As our Helpline and Support Services Manager, you’ll lead a small, passionate team dedicated to providing high-quality support to individuals and families at critical moments in their lives.

This is more than a management role—it’s a chance to drive real change, improve lives, and lead a service that’s a lifeline for many across the UK.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead and Inspire: Manage and support a team of 6 Helpline Care Navigators (including posts based in Scotland and Wales), and a team of volunteers providing out-of-hours support.
  • Deliver Impact: Ensure people affected by PSP & CBD receive timely, empathetic, and accurate support and information.
  • Enhance Support Services: Design and deliver tailored support groups, including groups for carers and people who are newly diagnosed.
  • Champion Service Quality: Monitor performance, gather data, and use insights to shape and improve service delivery.
  • Promote Inclusion & Safety: Ensure all services are accessible and comply with safeguarding and equality standards.
  • Lead in Safeguarding: Act as Deputy Safeguarding Lead, maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all service users.
  • Collaborate & Influence: Work with internal teams to ensure service user voices influence policy, communications, and PSPA publications.

Key Responsibilities

  • Line manage, develop, and support the helpline team and volunteers.
  • Lead the planning, delivery, and evaluation of support services.
  • Work with the Volunteer Coordinator to deliver evening helpline services.
  • Develop and implement policies to ensure safe, effective, and evidence-based service delivery.
  • Ensure all work reflects the lived experience of people affected by PSP & CBD.
  • Support the creation of new services and resources based on community need.
  • Contribute to the editorial direction of PSPA’s magazine, ensuring it reflects service users' perspectives.
  • Deputise for the Director of Service Improvement and Development, including leadership responsibilities and safeguarding oversight.

Person Specification

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in managing a helpline, support, or care service.
  • Strong people management and team development skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills—empathetic, clear, and confident.
  • Experience working with people affected by complex health or neurological conditions.
  • Sound understanding of safeguarding responsibilities and procedures.
  • Ability to use data and insights to monitor and improve services.
  • Skilled in designing and facilitating support sessions or groups.
  • Comfortable working independently, flexibly, and across remote/hybrid teams.
  • Confident IT user, including case management and reporting systems.
  • Familiarity with equality, diversity, and inclusion best practices in health or care settings.

Desirable

  • Experience of managing volunteers or out-of-hours services.
  • Knowledge of PSP, CBD, or rare and neurological conditions.

Personal Attributes

  • Compassionate and person-centred in approach
  • Strong leadership presence, able to motivate and empower others
  • Detail-oriented and organised, yet flexible and adaptable
  • Committed to continuous improvement
  • Collaborative and open to feedback
  • Passionate about making a difference for people with rare conditions

If you’re looking for a meaningful role where your leadership can directly improve lives, we’d love to hear from you.
