What you’ll bring:

  • Significant experience of providing senior stakeholder care to an excellent standard 

  • Proven experience of maintaining effective and efficient records. Previous experience with writing minutes is desirable 

  • Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with people at all levels 

  • Ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines whilst maintaining accurate attention to detail 

  • A strong interest in gaining skills and experience in charity governance 

This is an exciting time for Parkinson’s UK and we would love you to join us

Please apply by sending us your CV, together with a detailed supporting statement which will fully demonstrate how you meet all the criteria of the role, as stated in the "What you'll bring" section of the job description.
