We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world.

Inflammatory Neuropathies UK is the only UK charity dedicated solely to supporting people impacted by Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), CIDP, MMN and other Inflammatory Neuropathies. These are rare autoimmune conditions that can dramatically change lives. We are here to work with people, to provide support, and to make things better. 

We provide information, peer support, personal grants, local and online groups, and fund vital research. We are ambitious, people-focused, and growing fast. Along with our community, we are IN this together. 

We are now looking for a proactive, organised and mission-driven Operations Manager to help us strengthen, streamline, and expand our core services so we can reach and support even more people. 

About the role

This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who enjoys improving processes, working with people, and building organisational capacity. No two days will be the same, and your work will directly help people impacted by life-changing conditions.

You could be an established manager looking for a fresh challenge, or an up and coming professional looking for their next step. We have an incredible team, and we want to build on it by bringing in the best. 

Why join us? 

If you want to be part of an ambitious, developing team working within a national charity, then this job is for you. This is your chance to make a real difference for a group of people who are often overlooked and who are facing multiple challenges.
