About Us

Young Epilepsy is the only UK charity dedicated to creating better lives for children and young people with epilepsy and related conditions.

We provide world-class diagnosis, assessment and rehabilitation for children and young people with epilepsy and also undertake research into the condition and how it can be treated.

We offer a range of support and information for parents, children and young people and training for professionals. Additionally, we also campaign for better access to, and quality of, health and education services, and to raise awareness and increase understanding of epilepsy.

About the role

This is an exciting time to join Young Epilepsy and the Youth Development & Support team.

You will have the freedom to be creative in the content you commission, and experiment with ways to build a community online. You don’t need to be an expert in epilepsy but just have the ability to learn and remain curious.

You will love using your journalistic and editorial skills - you’ll bounce between using the wiles of a journalist to get to the heart of a story, to commissioning the best writer –commissioning a broad range of content that is pitched for a young and diverse audience. You will have experience in digital and media development, with an ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders, including content writers, web developers and media agencies.

You’ll be organised, able to plan robust timelines yet remaining dynamic and flexible. Managing a small team, you will also be responsible for setting out deliverables and key milestones, whilst managing risk and budgets – but don’t let this put you off! We can offer development in areas you feel you may need it.

You will be ambitious and bold, unafraid to take risks and think outside the box. You will lead on The Channel’s growth and development, measuring and scaling impact and reach, with the energy to drive excellent content.
