Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with a brain injury. Headway Tyneside provides information, opportunities and skills, and a vibrant supportive community to enhance the lives of people affected by an ABI.

What difference will you make? You will be able to see your efforts rewarded by more service users and increased funding. In addition, you will be able to see directly the difference we are making to individuals' lives.

You will likely be a marketing professional or have other relevant experience or background. You will be self‑motivated, but keen to be part of a supportive team of professionals who do amazing things!

Even our current service users tell us that we could be more visible!
