About the Role

Who We Are
For nearly 5 million people living with diabetes in the UK, there is no day off. Diabetes UK works tirelessly to improve care, treatment, and support. Our mission is to ensure that diabetes does no harm.
With increasing numbers of people living with or at risk of type 2 diabetes, our work is more important than ever. We provide essential care and support to help people live well and avoid serious complications.

Our dedicated staff have driven vital policy changes and introduced new treatments and technologies for over 85 years. We are passionate and determined to continue this work.
Our Vision
We envision a world where diabetes can do no harm. Join us and be part of making this vision a reality.
