About the Thalidomide Trust
The Thalidomide Trust is a charity which was established in 1973 to provide assistance and support to people born in the UK with disabilities caused by their mother taking the drug Thalidomide.
Currently the Trust supports 423 beneficiaries aged between 60 and 66 years, living with a range of physical disabilities including limb damage, hearing and visual impairment, musculoskeletal problems, brain and sensory impairment and damage to internal organs.

We know it is important to find a job where you feel valued and that you are making a real difference.We are a small friendly charity with the most amazing staff (if we do say so ourselves!) and some truly inspiring beneficiaries.
Our benefits package includes:
* Private Medical Cover (after probation period completed)
* Free onsite parking
* 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
* A free Employee Assistance Programme, providing advice and counselling
* A Personal Development Plan and access to ongoing training opportunities
