Supporter Care Administrator

The Organisation

The National Brain Appeal funds pioneering research, innovative treatments and world-class facilities, to benefit patients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. We do this working to support The National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery and the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology – together known as Queen Square. This is one of the world’s leading centres for the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions. These include stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia.

Our Values

Our values, Collaborative, Dynamic, Optimistic, Pioneering, reflect what matters most to us as an organisation. They are visible in our past work, and they inform our current decision-making, providing the guiding principles for the way we operate internally and externally. While each value is a core component carrying equal weight, they are interdependent. Woven together, they comprise the ethos and personality of The National Brain Appeal, and all four are vital to our goal of revolutionising treatment and outcomes for people with neurological conditions.
