About us
At Epilepsy Action we are inclusive, supportive, and committed to creating a world without limits for people with epilepsy. As we embark on our new 2024 – 2030 strategy we are excited to welcome you to our passionate, supportive and committed team.

By operating a flexible and supportive approach, we empower people to work in a way that suits them that also meets the need of the organisation.
If you are interested in building a career you can be proud of in an inclusive and ambitious organisation we might have the role for you!
About the role
Epilepsy Action is on the lookout for a new recruit to help activate their really exciting new brand. This will be a varied role covering digital and print marketing. It is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their marketing career; whether that’s straight out of uni or after a couple of years in another role.
This is an environment where you can develop new skills by learning from a multi-disciplinary team. The team covers PR, digital and brand. You will be mentored by the Digital Manager and the Marketing and Brand Manager.
2025 is an exciting time to be joining the charity. Last year we were on national TV for the first time. This year we turn 75 and we are doing two national campaigns to raise awareness of epilepsy. Together we will build a world without limits for people with epilepsy.
- At Epilepsy Action we recognise the power of collaboration and teamwork, so our team members with hybrid contracts can expect to work a minimum of 40% at our office in Leeds. On average this is 2 days a week, normally on Mondays and Thursdays, for full-time employees. The expectation to collaborate face-to-face is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do which may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to help us create a world without limits for people with epilepsy
About you

- Wants to gain experience from working in a high performing team

Being an Inclusive Organisation
We want everyone in our community regardless of their backgrounds, identities, abilities, or circumstances, to feel valued and respected to participate fully. We know that inclusivity isn’t about numbers; it’s about embracing diversity and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard, needs are met, and contributions are acknowledged.
We recognise that each person’s experiences shape how they think and having diverse representation across the organisation is fundamental to achieving our ambitions.
Despite this, we are not as diverse as we would like and we actively encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and cultures, in particular those from ethnic minority backgrounds who are currently under-represented.
We are also proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, this means we encourage applications from disabled people, and we are committed to interviewing disabled applicants who demonstrate through their application that they meet the essential criteria in the person specification. We want to support you to perform your best so if you require any reasonable adjustments, please let us know.
