Epilepsy Society needs you
Do you have experience of working in social care, or do you have lived experience of supporting someone with complex care needs? Maybe you have taken early retirement from care work or are thinking of a career supporting people with disabilities. If so, the Epilepsy Society would love to hear from you.
