Macular disease is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, with around 300 people diagnosed every day. The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world class research, and the best advice and support.

You’ll oversee day to day services that keep our office running smoothly, from contracts for services to all aspects of health and safety to cleaning, maintenance, and equipment orders. You’ll also support our office IT setup — ensuring meeting room equipment works, liaising with our IT and print providers, and managing small stock items.

This is a practical, hands‑on role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and keeping things working behind the scenes.

If you are a hands‑on problem solver, have experience in office, facilities or operations management and care about creating a positive and safe workplace for others, then we would love to hear from you.

In return we provide a great working culture and offer flexible working options, 26 days annual leave, rising to 27 after one years service, the ability to buy or sell annual leave, supportive family policies, and 6% pension contribution.

Macular Society is proud to be a Disability Confident Employer. A guaranteed interview will be offered to all disabled applicants where:

• The candidate has evidenced the minimum criteria for the role through their application
• The candidate has chosen to share that they have a disability in the covering letter/application email
• Where the minimum (essential) criteria have been met, we will provide an opportunity to request any reasonable adjustments for the interview and/or the role.

We want to be an inclusive and diverse employer reflecting the community we serve and welcome applications from all parts of the community, in particular people with lived experience of sight loss.
