We would particularly welcome people with Clinical/Medical, Law, Health & Safety/or Fundraising/Marketing experience, but this is not essential. We offer a tailored induction, the opportunity to learn new skills and the satisfaction that you are helping people in your local community.

The Mary How Trust values diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive culture.
