Who are we?

Recently named one of the Third Sector's ‘Best Charities to Work For’, we are committed to moving further, faster to accelerate change for everyone affected by a brain tumour. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 in the UK than any other cancer.

This role is full time - 37.5 hours per week. Contracted to our Fleet office, but we adopt a hybrid approach to office working (we are all currently working from home due to COVID-19)

What we'd like from you:

It’s simple – we’re looking for the people who ‘can’. We want the talented, the energetic and the ambitious. We need the inspired and the inspirational – the people who completely embrace our values, who’ll enhance our culture and who are determined to make real and lasting change for our community.

According to the job description you should also be an experienced Events professional, with strong project and budget management skills, superb leadership skills and an innovative approach.

If this is you, we’d love to hear from you!

What we'd like to give you:

- Salary c.£48,000 (dependent on experience)

- 25 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays for full-time contracts

- Generous pension contribution*
