About Revive MS Support

Revive MS Support is the only charity in the West of Scotland providing nationwide support for people who are affected by Multiple Sclerosis. The charity was set up in 1984 by people living with MS and their families, and helps people manage the physical, emotional, financial, and social impacts that come with a diagnosis of MS. Anyone affected by MS can use Revive’s services, and they are free to access.

Job Purpose
