Limbless Association

Services Support Officer (Information and Advice)

The Limbless Association is a long-standing national charity based at the Essex Prosthetics Centre, Mayflower Community Hospital, Billericay, Essex. Through its stakeholder networks, the LA extends its reach as an organisation operating and connecting nationally. The LA aims to support amputees, whatever their non-medical needs, from the point of consultation and preoperative assessment through to post-operative recovery and rehabilitation. Our core services include a dedicated support line, direct access to legal advice, peer-to-peer support through our membership, Volunteer Visitor and outreach programmes. The LA’s two key projects are the Support and Connect Hub outreach programme and Volunteer Visitors (peer mentors). The loss of a limb or limbs, through accident or illness, is a devastating and life-changing experience that affects the individual and their families. Consequently, issues can be multiple, complex and severe. Here at the LA we champion lives without barriers and believe that all amputees should have unparalleled support to lead independent and fulfilled lives.

The LA operates with a small friendly team working out of the Billericay office HQ and remotely, along with a dedicated Trustee Board and an army of volunteers.

An opportunity to join a passionate and dedicated advice and information team. Our helpline is busier than ever and we’re looking for an experienced individual to join this growing service. We believe that accessing good quality advice, information and signposting are vital building blocks in supporting the practical needs of amputees and their families to navigate the complex journey of limb loss recovery. You’ll need compassion, empathy and a calm efficient approach to support those who’ve experienced life-changing trauma. 

The charity is approaching its 40th year and continues to build on the legacy of its founders – that no amputee need cope alone. The deadline for applications is midday 19th August 2022.
