About The Role
You’ll lead and coordinate our local campaigning work across London. Your work will help the charity improve the lives of people in local communities affected by Parkinson’s. You'll listen to the needs of our local communities and work with colleagues in our wider directorate to do focussed political campaigning work and advocacy.
Your work will help raise awareness and increase knowledge about Parkinson’s. Through your campaigns you’ll ensure that the voices of people with Parkinson’s, their families and carers are heard.
What You'll Do
- Be a first point of contact for supporters and campaigners in the local area, who want to improve services in their local area.
- Provide expert advice and support to colleagues and campaigners on how best to challenge and influence decision makers.
- Build close working relationships with our field staff and our local networks.
- Recruit and manage a sustainable network of local campaign volunteers.
- Lead campaigns to ensure everyone with Parkinson’s has access to the multidisciplinary team so they can live well with Parkinson’s.
