Arthritis Care is the leading UK wide voluntary organisation promoting self-help and social inclusion for the 9 million people in the UK with arthritis. We provide information, support and take the lead in raising awareness of this debilitating condition and campaigning on behalf of people with arthritis.

A challenging opportunity has arisen for an innovative and forward thinking leader to join Arthritis Care’s senior team as Northern Ireland Director.

The successful candidate will provide the strategic development of operational services throughout Northern Ireland. You will provide management and staff leadership to ensure these services are delivered in Northern Ireland.
