Location:
Hybrid
Salary: £54,000 to £60,000 per annum (pro rata) depending on experience
Role Status: 28 to 35 hours per week
Closing Date: 5th December 2024

We are looking for a Director of Support, Information and Research to join our dedicated team. If you join us, you will oversee an exciting portfolio of work that touches each of our priorities to:

  1. Fight to defeat meningitis in the UK within a generation
  2. Reach out to everyone who needs help, support and information
  3. Be recognised as a centre of expertise for aftercare and support.

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.

You will also be part of our 40th Anniversary celebrations and help us renew our organisation-wide Strategic Plan in 2026. You’ll be able to build on our many strengths whilst thinking strategically, innovatively and positively about the future.

We are looking for someone to work from our Head Office in Stroud (GL5 3TJ) for ideally a minimum of 2 days per week.

About the job

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.
