What you'll bring
- Demonstrable experience leading and inspiring multi discipline teams in a truly collaborative way
- A successful relationship fundraiser with a proven track record in leading key fundraising disciplines and teams
- Proven experience of developing a strategy and plans that prioritise the whole supporter experience and value every type of contribution

We aim to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's - and you could help us achieve this.
We offer a variety of paid job roles and volunteer opportunities both at our UK office in London and across the UK.
