Work under an inspiring, visionary leader who values innovation, collaboration, and your professional growth. Based in Milton with hybrid work on offer. Impact of the organisation MS Queensland is a leading not-for-profit with over 65 years of impact in supporting people living with multiple sclerosis and for the past 20 years has been the largest provider of neurological supports supporting those with neurological conditions such as Epilepsy, Dementia, Parkinsons, MND and Stroke. More than 1.3 million Queenslanders are living with a neurological condition…that is 1 in 4 people. All neuro conditions cause ‘disconnection’. Disconnection between the brain’s signals and the body’s function. Then as a result, disconnection between the person, their world and the things they want to do. Neurological conditions not only cause physical pain, they can also be isolating and lonely. With disconnection as the problem, it is little wonder that ‘connection’ is the solution! With a reputation for care and excellence, they are connecting Queenslanders living with neurological conditions to new possibilities and better lives through our community, services, support, events, research and neuro wellness initiatives. Join them in their vision to create a world where neuro wellness really matters!
