We are looking for an experienced, dynamic, and visionary person for this exciting role with Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading epilepsy charity.

You will be responsible for leading, developing and delivering the work and services of Epilepsy Action’s Local Services department in local communities across the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man.

About Us​

Epilepsy Action is the UK’s leading epilepsy charity focusing on improving lives for people with epilepsy and raising awareness about an invisible condition. To achieve this, we must improve and influence across a wide range of issues that impact our community.

We’re proud of the work we do to create a fairer and more just world. However, despite all of our hard work, we know that we’re not as diverse as we’d like to be and we’re actively working to change that. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, and we particularly encourage candidates from BAME backgrounds and candidates with disabilities to get in touch and apply.

If you’re excited to help shape the future of a charity that makes a difference to the lives of over 600,000 people in the UK with epilepsy, we’d love to hear from you.
