You’ll be supported by three excellent managers responsible for Support, Information and Volunteering, as well as a capable and motivated team in our head office in Stroud and remotely across the UK. You’ll join a charity that puts people at the heart of all we do. The charity is warm and compassionate, and you’ll become part of ‘the Meningitis Now family’ – the people who comprise our staff, Trustees and a wonderful community of supporters, Ambassadors, volunteers and Patrons as well as those we support.

As Director of Support, Information and Research, you will lead, support and develop our team responsible for support, information, research and volunteering, as well as contribute to the public affairs work of Meningitis Now. Our aim is to realise Meningitis Now’s vision of a future where no-one loses their life to meningitis and where everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

You will be responsible for ensuring that our strategies, plans and activities are in-line with our values of being professional, inclusive, understanding and hopeful. You’ll achieve this by building on our many strengths as a centre of expertise for aftercare and support, a trusted source of information about meningitis, and as a funder of research. You’ll also contribute to Meningitis Now’s impactful and collaborative programme of public affairs.

You will also be looking to the future and seeking to understand the lived experience of people who have experienced meningitis. You will draw on best practice from other charities and other sectors, and work in partnership to expand our impact and to learn from others. You’ll ensure that all our activities are grounded by insight into the diverse needs our supporters, beneficiaries and target audiences.
