We also fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.

We operate a hybrid working environment within a flexible office space using the latest technology and digital infrastructure. This, together with a high level of trust and performance driven culture, gives staff the freedom and flexibility to work in the best way for them, the Association and, most importantly, people with MND.

We are committed to equality and value diversity. We are working hard to remove perceived and actual barriers to participation for people with and affected by MND, current and future staff, volunteers, and stakeholders.

CoachBright is a social mobility movement. We are working towards a day where no young person’s background determines their future. Still now, in 2022, there is a postcode lottery. We are at a crisis point. If you are born poor, you are likely to stay poor. The chances of a young person succeeding in life are largely down to where they live.

Our mission is to instil young people with the independence and resilience to lead the lives they want. Now, more than ever, it is essential that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds get the support they need to achieve their goals. Covid-19 has further widened the gap between the pupils who have the income and resources to withstand educational disruption, during the past few months and those who don’t. That’s why we’re playing our part to narrow the gap and support a generation of pupils to be their best.

We are young, ambitious and optimistic, and are looking for someone as passionate as we are about creating a socially just world. If you get out of bed to transform the life chances of young people and want to shape and grow a values-driven social mobility organisation, we would love to hear from you.
