About you

Do you have experience of supporting young people aged 13+ online or over the phone, who are facing challenges in their lives? Are you an excellent listener?

About Eczema Outreach Support

Eczema Outreach Support (EOS) is a UK-wide charity supporting children and young people with eczema and their families. Originally set up in Scotland in 2011, we now have over 4,000 member families living across the UK.

At EOS, we want every child with eczema to thrive. By providing direct practical advice and emotional support to whole families, we empower young people to take back control of their health and break isolation. We want every child and young person with eczema to know that they are not alone.

We deliver a range of activities including one-to-one support via phone and email, face-to-face events and online activities, such as our virtual High Five Club for kids aged 3-10 and tailored support for teenagers. We also work directly with schools to offer workshops for children and Continuing Professional Development training for staff, as well as creating and sharing informative social media content on eczema. We support families on a wider scale by inputting into eczema research, taking part in clinical networks and raising awareness of the impact of the condition on families’ lives.

We are a small team making a big impact and we can only achieve this by valuing and supporting our people to deliver great work. Recognising the individual strengths of our team and being a flexible and supportive employer are key to our success.

What we offer

• Flexible working. This role can be worked either as hybrid (if location allows) or full-time remotely. The role will require some hours to be worked online in the evening, as well as some being worked during office hours. We are always keen to accommodate our employees’ needs so hours can be spread in a way that works for you and the organisation

• 28 days of annual leave (pro-rata) plus the 4 festive public holidays and additional time off between Christmas and New Year

• We prioritise our team’s wellbeing very highly. We work on the basis that team members who feel valued and supported will deliver the best outcomes for our members. We will talk with you about what this means for you

• We are committed to becoming an organisation which reflects society and promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We would particularly welcome applications from people who are currently under-represented on our team, including disabled people and those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups.
