Doctors in Distress was founded in 2018 by Amandip Sidhu following the suicide of his brother Jagdip. Jagdip was a consultant cardiologist. He was overworked, burned out and felt he had nowhere to turn. He believed taking his life was the only answer. Amandip established the charity so no other healthcare worker would have to experience the same pain as Jagdip.

Healthcare workers are facing immense pressure. A 2023 survey showed that 34% of staff were suffering from burnout and 37.4% were emotionally exhausted because of work. The mental impact of the pandemic is still being felt by many, on a daily basis. Doctors in Distress is committed to reducing burnout and distress through support programmes and campaigns.

• Operations: You will manage the main inbox, support financial tasks, assist with IT and CRM management.
• Campaign Support: You will contribute to impactful campaigns, such as the National Memorial Tree Campaign.

The Operations Assistant will have 3-5 years of administrative experience and strong organisational, multitasking, and communication skills. The successful candidate will be proficient in CRM systems (Beacon or similar) and experienced in using Microsoft Office, including Teams, and with experience using Zoom. You will be proactive, self-motivated, and detail-oriented and capable of managing multiple priorities. The successful candidate will also be empathetic towards healthcare professionals' challenges.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work flexibly from home while being part of a dynamic team. You'll play a key role in operations, from supporting vital mental health programmes to contributing to impactful campaigns. You will enjoy the benefits of a hybrid work model, a supportive environment, and the chance to make a meaningful impact every day.
