We’ve come a long way since 1969, when a woman called Mali Jenkins founded the charity in a one-room office in Putney, London. Today, we’re the largest charitable funder of Parkinson’s research in Europe, driving forward the search for better treatments and a cure, at home and internationally. We are a dynamic network of expert staff, health and social care professionals, volunteers and researchers, all focused on delivering to and learning from our incredible community. Parkinson’s UK is a dynamic and progressive charity seeking to find a cure and improve life for everybody affected by Parkinson’s. Our dedicated and skilled staff, talented and passionate community, and responsible fundraising capability provide us with the foundations to break through the many challenges. We aim to harness the rapid advancements in medical science and technology to improve our services and develop new treatments that slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s and manage its symptoms and side effects.
THE ROLE
Parkinson’s UK is a dynamic and progressive charity seeking to find a cure and improve life for everybody affected by Parkinson’s. Our dedicated and skilled staff, talented and passionate community, and responsible fundraising capability provide us with the foundations to break through the many challenges. We aim to harness the rapid advancements in medical science and technology to improve our services and develop new treatments that slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s and manage its symptoms and side effects.
Guided by the Parkinson’s community, we’ve shaped our strategy ‘Every Parkinson’s Journey’ for 2023 to 2026.
A key element of our approach is to use the positive financial position we find ourselves in to grow our support to the NHS, improve services locally for people with Parkinson’s and accelerate our research agenda. We’re a growing organisation with a passion for delivery and improvement. Our people are critical in helping us to achieve our strategic aims. We want to continue to develop and maintain a culture that is empowering, where all staff and volunteers feel well supported and valued and know that they have played a key role in improving outcomes for People affected by Parkinson’s.
We have a clear People Strategy which is shaping our offer to staff and volunteers so that Parkinson’s UK is viewed as an employer and organisation of choice for our employees and volunteers while building a thriving culture of innovation, diversity and expertise.
