Communications Advisor Science – Fundraising Magazine

The Brain Foundation has been doing everything it can to ensure brain health for everyone for over 30 years. We believe everyone should be able to get the most out of life. Whoever you are. Whatever your brain condition.

For more than 30 years, we have been making connections between different types of disorders. Because if you learn something about one condition, it can also be meaningful for another. In this way, we find more and more solutions to keep the brain healthy, to treat it better and to help people with a brain disorder to participate in society. To achieve this, we collaborate with researchers, professionals, patients and the public. Every day again. Together, we have one goal in mind: healthy brains for all. We want to be there for everyone and, where possible, help everyone. By continuing to examine how disorders can be prevented or treated and by ensuring that people with brain disorders can participate in society. We do this by funding research and innovations, providing information and putting the importance of our brains on the agenda everywhere.

Think about what we can do together. For our Communication & Information team, we are immediately looking for a proactive and pragmatic communication advisor (32 hours).
