Trustees x 2

MS Society
London
Hackney

The MS Society is the UK’s largest organisation dedicated to supporting people with MS and those who care about them. We fund world-leading scientists as they seek to understand mechanisms that underpin MS and search for new treatments. We make sure everyone can access expert information and services to help them live well with MS. We speak up together, to make sure everyone’s voice is heard, and rights are protected. We support one another when times are tough and celebrate together when they are good. We make sure no one has to feel alone.

THE ROLE

We’re now looking for Elected Trustees to join the MS Society Board. We’re keen to broaden the experience and thinking on our Board, and we welcome applications from anyone who can bring fresh perspectives. And if you have lived experience of MS, particularly of more advanced MS, your insight would be invaluable.

We’re especially interested in hearing from strategic leaders within their fields who bring significant skills and experience in digital, data and technology. Investment in this area is helping us transform how we work and grow our impact. And as we move closer to the next research breakthrough, it’s vital that we maintain our Board’s expertise in any area of world-leading research.

You don’t need to have been on a Board before, but you will be someone with the highest level of personal integrity and maturity of judgement, with strong analytical skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a diverse Board.
