JOB DESCRIPTION

Job Title:    Digital Projects Officer

Location:  Home-based

Responsible to:  CEO 

Hours:  Full-time (40 hours per week)

Salary:    £24,000

Starting date:  October 2022

ABOUT M4RD

M4RD exists to provide education and practical tools targeted at medical professionals, enabling them to reduce the diagnostic odyssey and improve the patient experience.

An estimated 3.5 million people in the UK live with a rare condition and one of the greatest challenges highlighted by this patient group is lack of medical professional awareness. 

A rare disease is one that affects fewer than 1 in 2000 in a population and approximately 7000 rare conditions have been described. Rare diseases have been a health priority in the UK and across the globe for many years now. Our power to diagnose rare conditions and our scope for treatment has vastly accelerated in the last twenty years. 

However the accepted approach to medical education on rare disease has changed very little in that time. Usually a handful of individual rare diseases are taught about in medical education based on factors such as geographical proximity to a specialist center, an educator with a special interest or purely because it’s traditional to teach about some conditions in certain specialties. Usually this kind of education has a biomedical focus, rather than a holistic focus that is needed in rare conditions. The majority of which are life-long and cause multi-system involvement. 

The charity is small and consists of a friendly group of staff and Trustees. The work can be intense but rewarding as the charity responds to the needs of the rare disease political landscape. Within reason we try to be flexible in order to make the most out of your skills and time. If you like project management, being organised and working at a fast pace on something fun then please do apply.

This will involve working with Moodle but you will be supported by an M4RD Trustee who is a professional online learning developer as needed.

YouTube

M4RD has a lot of excellent video content however we haven’t had the opportunity to make it suitable for YouTube. You would be able to take this untouched platform and make it another excellent resource for our audience. This will involve working with Vimeo, YouTube and Canva.

Betknowmore UK is a small (but growing) charity trying to reduce the harms caused by gambling. We’re looking hard for someone who can come in and help us with day to day governance and administration -  we have reasonably good governance at a policy/strategic level, but the time this is taking day-to-day has increased substantially and we need someone who can help update policies and processes, ensure they’re followed, support our Trustees/Board members and SLT with necessary administration, and generally make sure everyone is able to do what they need to do when they need to do it.

There'll be an occasional need to come to an event/meeting, but otherwise we're happy for you to work from home. Similarly, there are times you'll need to be available for meetings and so on, but we're happy around these for you to work whatever hours work for you - we have staff who work early in the day or later in the evening as that happens to fit in with their lives.

This could be a job for someone with a few years admin experience and some knowledge of governance who wants to build a career in the governance and compliance sector, possibly building up to being a Company Secretary/Compliance Director/etc. We’d be happy to support them in their career, paying for training and/or professional body membership fees. Or it could be a job for someone with lots of professional or life experience that has given them great admin skills and knowledge of charity governance who now wants to use those while working to help an important cause. We're open to anyone with the right skills - get in touch with a CV and cover letter and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
