As the UK’s leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, we’re determined to change this and ensure that everyone gets prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support. With a new UK Government and increased interest in menstrual health across all 4 nations, there has never been a more exciting time to join Endometriosis UK and help us make a difference to the lives of those affected by endometriosis in the UK.
Within this role, you will play a key role in the delivery of our new organisational strategy that will launch in 2025, focused on better supporting those with endometriosis, driving down diagnosis times, campaigning for improved treatments and access to services, raising awareness, and leveraging more money into research. We place people with endometriosis at the heart of all we do.
