About us
Who we are
Shift.ms is the digital community for people with multiple sclerosis (MSers).
Founded by MSers, for MSers, the charity offers social and emotional support, inspiring MSers to take charge of their health as soon as possible after diagnosis.
It’s independent and it’s free.
To achieve our aim, we focus on three areas
- Reducing isolation and increasing social support for MSers
- Helping MSers to acknowledge and actively manage their condition
- Creating a self-sustaining community organisation, run by its member.
We believe:
- MS should be tackled with urgency. Early proactive decisions lead to long term benefits.
- In the power of community to help MSers actively manage their health.
Our culture and values
Human at heart
We’re a digital community, but first and foremost we’re human.
This means we work together with empathy, take individual needs into account and don’t pretend we’re anything but fallible.
Trailblazers
We’re not afraid to experiment and falter in order to learn and grow. We take the path less trodden. We question why and how.
Determined
We lead with ambition and face challenges with grit. When the path isn’t smooth; resilience is our strength. Individually and collectively we’re here to make a positive difference.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We're an equal opportunity employer. We’re looking for the best candidate based on the value they can add. Our culture is hugely important to us and we welcome applicants of all race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability status. We encourage all candidates who believe they have the required qualifications and experience to apply.
