You’ll empower people affected by Parkinson’s, their families and carers to live lives that are as fulfilling as possible and to take an active role in their treatment becoming their own advocate in health and life, wherever possible. 

This post is part of a newly funded project to reach out to more people affected by Parkinson’s, testing new ways of working in the local area.

What you’ll bring:

  • Background and/or current experience in health and social care

  • Experience of supporting and empowering people with problem solving, navigating the health and social care system and participating in their own care 

  • Experience managing a complex caseload effectively and efficiently 

  • Ability to be calm and deal effectively with challenging or emotional situations and/or people

  • Demonstrable digital competence, with experience of effective use of a range of tools including online case management systems or similar 

  • In depth understanding of Parkinson’s, relevant issues and legislation, in particular in connection with health and social care and welfare benefits 

This is an exciting time for Parkinson’s UK and we would love you to join us!

Please apply by sending us your CV, together with a detailed supporting statement which will fully demonstrate how you meet all the criteria of the role, as stated in the "What you'll bring" section of the job description.

Interviews for this role will be held on 8th & 9th July 2026.
