As part of our Communities Team, you will play a key role in delivering an exciting new Menopause Support Project that aims to improve the health, wellbeing and self-management skills of women with learning disabilities and additional support needs.

In this rewarding role, you will support women to better understand and manage the menopause through accessible workshops, one-to-one support and community engagement activities.
