You will be joining us at an exciting stage of our development and this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a supportive and friendly team.

We offer 35 days annual leave (including bank holidays), travel loan and various other benefits such as supported developmental opportunities.

The MS Society is in the midst of an exciting, transformational, period which builds on our great history and will drive us towards achieving our mission and vision as we embark on our new 5 year strategy.

Part of this exciting transformation will include an office move from our current National Centre in Cricklewood, NW London to a different location in London. We are currently defining where and what type of accommodation this will be and we really want our staff to be involved in that decision.

Closing date: 9am on Monday 15th February 2021

We are committed to promoting equality and diversity. 

No agencies please.
