About You
We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience in youth work, particularly one-to-one or small group personal and social development

- Is nurturing, non-judgmental and sees past first impressions

- Believes disabled young people should lead fulfilling lives as equal citizens
You'll need to be brilliant with young people, adaptable, and bring a flair for doing things differently. You'll have responsibility and autonomy, with the support of a strong team behind you.

· Increase the impact of our HCP education module, through our existing partnership with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, marketing the education widely, evaluating its benefit to HCPs and strategically reviewing the format, vehicle and content as appropriate.
· Work closely with our internal Evidence Gathering Group, our Medical Advisor, and Information and Research Manager to facilitate the development of the relationship, profile and reach between the charity and the health and social care sectors.
· Develop a wide network of key healthcare professionals to inform our strategy, provide expertise, expert review of materials, and content (podcasts, webinars, blogs)
· Co-produce posters, abstracts and academic articles to present at key conferences.
· Identify and attend key healthcare events and conferences, building networks, partnerships and other resources to increase knowledge and awareness.
Other responsibilities
· Create meaningful engagement with the MS community and healthcare professional partners, widening our reach to support more people with MS.
· Empower people affected by MS and their healthcare professionals to discuss lifestyle modification and the Overcoming MS Program with confidence, improving self-management and health outcomes.
· Identify opportunities for accessing funding streams, working with Fundraising colleagues to diversify our income base.
· Raise our profile within the healthcare environment so that they recommend the charity and will advocate on our behalf.
· As we are a small, busy charity, all staff help with the general running of the organisation in addition to their specific role activities.
What you will bring
· Proven experience in healthcare partnership development and stakeholder engagement.
·Strong understanding of the challenges facing people living with a lifelong condition such as MS, including the emotional, physical, and social impacts along with a strong understanding of the NHS, Public Health and the UK health care policy landscape.
