About Child Brain Injury Trust:-

An acquired brain injury (ABI) is an injury to the brain that has happened after birth and is not progressive or degenerative. It is not something that families can plan for or are likely to expect, but the truth is that it may change lives forever. Acquired brain injury can affect how a person thinks, feels, and responds to situations but will not always affect a person physically. For this reason, it is often referred to as a hidden disability.

The Child Brain Injury Trust was originally set up by a group of medical professionals. The organisation has evolved over the years and is now the leading UK organisation supporting families and professionals affected by childhood acquired brain injury. Working in consultation and collaboration with families and professionals, the charity aims to ensure families can access the support they need, when they need it and to ensure they have the best possible chance of reaching their potential.

As part of the Brain Injury Team, you will be joining the charity at an exciting time, where we will be looking at the future needs of families across the UK affected by childhood acquired brain injury.

This is to ensure that families and children affected by acquired brain injury receive the best support possible. As an inclusive and forward-thinking team, you will be part of and contribute to the development of the service.
