Job Description:

Charity People is delighted to be collaborating once again with the wonderful Migraine Trust in their search for a Trusts and Grants Manager (Part time). This exciting, part-time role will lead The Migraine Trust’s trusts and grants fundraising activity, securing income to support the charity’s ambitious strategic goals.

The Migraine Trust is dedicated to helping people affected by migraine. They are the only UK migraine charity providing information and support, campaigning for awareness and change, and funding and promoting research.

One in seven people in the UK live with migraine, and this complex and debilitating neurological disorder significantly affects their lives. They have been leading and bringing the migraine community together to change this since 1965.

Our vision: A world where migraine doesn’t stop anyone from living the life they want.

Our mission: Everyone with migraine deserves the best possible care and treatment and support. We invest in research, campaign for long term improvements and address the stigma and misunderstanding that currently exists. No one with migraine should feel alone and we are here at every step.

“Migraine is heart-breaking for migraine sufferers and affects all areas of life. From always feeling like you’re letting people down, not knowing if a plan or event made will be able to happen (until it happens), thinking about a family, feeling like you are a shadow of your former self, and feeling guilty about missing work – it never goes away.”
