JOB DESCRIPTION IN FULL

OVERVIEW

Alex, The Leukodystrophy Charity (Alex TLC) are a small, independent rare disease charity competing for essential resources within an extremely competitive arena.

Formerly ALD Life, an organisation supporting the most prevalent leukodystrophy, in 2019 we expanded our support services to help those with all genetic leukodystrophy, increasing both our growth potential and workload.

Leukodystrophies are a very rare group of inherited disorders, therefore we acknowledge that support will always be limited.
