Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder, affecting at least 100,000 people in the UK, yet it remains significantly misunderstood and under-recognised.
For more than 40 years, Dystonia UK has been the national voice for people living with this complex neurological condition. We provide trusted information, respond to individual enquiries, help to connect people around the UK, work with clinicians, influence decision makers, and fund small but impactful research projects that improve quality of life. We are the organisation people with dystonia turn to first.
Today, the Charity is at an important point of renewal. We are seeking to strengthen the support we can provide for the dystonia community.
About the role

Your priorities will include:
- Creating financial sustainability and diversifying income
- Providing leadership to our staff
- Strengthening our core services
- Raising awareness nationally and helping to lobby for improved patient pathways
This is a hands-on role in a small organisation where you will directly influence operational improvements as well as strategic direction.
