ACT prides itself on being a friendly, welcoming, supporter and customer focussed charity.

Although you’ll be a key member of the ACT Team you’ll gain experience across a range of interesting areas, from marketing and communications to community fundraising, customer service, events, and financial processes, to name but a few. But most importantly you’ll be playing a key role in helping us to make this wonderful hospital even better for the tens of thousands of patients the visit each year.
At times there will be a need to demonstrate a high degree of flexibility to manage a varied workload, and to provide support to the team and respond to their activities as appropriate.
