ADVOCACY & CAMPAIGNS OFFICER
We are seeking a dynamic Advocacy and Campaigns Officer to lead the expansion of our advocacy services and drive impactful campaigns. In this role, you will be instrumental in shaping our advocacy provision across housing, healthcare, social care, and benefits, ensuring that our members feel empowered to express their needs and rights.

BECOME A TRUSTEE
Pathfinders is a charity, which means that our work is led by our Trustee Board. Trustees meet quarterly, reviewing our accounts and setting the direction of the organisation. The role of the Trustees is to represent the needs and voices of the wider community of people with muscle-weakening conditions. In conclusion, this ensures that Pathfinders’ work meets what the community wants and needs.
In truth, without our trustees we couldn’t be an organisation. Owing to that, why not give up some time to not just supporting, but leading, Pathfinders?
PEER RESEARCH STEERING GROUP
Pathfinders operates a Peer Research Steering Group, working alongside our Research Officer to guide the directions for our academic work. As part of the Peer Research Steering Group you will develop research projects and write academic articles.
Additionally, no academic experience is required to join our Peer Research Steering Group, but we also welcome people with an academic background. To apply, tell us about yourself and why you’re interested in research.
UPLIFT STEERING GROUP
UPLIFT is a project firstly focused on building campaign and advocacy skills for people aged 18-30 with muscle-weakening conditions. In fact, UPLIFT includes online and in-person sessions covering everything from information to escape rooms.
Because UPLIFT is led by a group of young people with muscle-weakening conditions, you can become one of them. To find out more, get in touch with Cath by clicking “apply now”.
