Parkinson's UK is the UK's leading charity for people with Parkinson's. We're a growing organisation with 605 employees, 4000 volunteers and a projected income of 50m+.

The Operations team plays a key role in driving that mission. Over the coming years we'll be modernising our systems and processes to ensure they're fit for now, as well as in the future. Much of this work is already underway, and we're now ready to start our exciting new chapter.


We've been working to get ourselves in the best shape to deliver that progress over the next few years, and we're now looking for ambitious, driven, and purpose-led people to join our team of 'relentless doers'.
