Just Treatment is a young and growing organisation dedicated to organising individuals who have been directly impacted by the negative effects of corporate profiteering on their health and the NHS. Investing intensively in a small cohort of leaders, we have supported patients and their families to lead effective campaigns that challenged the damaging impact of pharmaceutical companies on fair access to affordable medicines and won support for pro-health reforms of the industry.

We are now expanding our team so we can work with patients and their families to fight back against the damaging consequences that privatisation and government underfunding are having on access to quality care in the NHS. The person taking on this role will be working closely with the Just Treatment staff team (including another Organiser focused on offline engagement) and our patient leaders to develop and agree an organising strategy that integrates Big Organising approaches into our work.

Ultimately they will support our patient leaders to win changes that help to reverse the destruction of our publicly funded and delivered health service.
