Across the UK, awareness of ADHD has never been greater. Families are seeking answers, schools are working hard to better support neurodivergent learners, and professionals are increasingly recognising the importance of understanding the strengths and challenges that come with ADHD. Yet awareness alone isn’t enough. Real change happens when education, practical support and compassionate communities come together.
That’s exactly what ADHD Embrace has been doing for more than twenty years. Now we’re looking for an Operations Lead who wants to become part of that journey.
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in small and impactful charity that believes every child and young person with ADHD deserves to be understood, supported and given every opportunity to thrive. If you’re someone who enjoys bringing ideas to life, is passionate about service delivery, has a practical, hands-on approach, thrives on collaboration and wants your work to have genuine purpose, this could be the role you’ve been waiting for.

Our services include courses and workshops for both parents and young people, expert-led seminars, advice clinics, informal meet-ups and our Schools Outreach Programme, training teaching staff and providing ADHD awareness to parents in schools and delivering teacher seminars.
