Muscular Dystrophy UK - London

Avinash B.

I worked here on a FTC and working at Muscular Dystrophy UK offers a positive and enriching experience for employees.

The supportive and collaborative atmosphere providing an environment where individuals can learn and grow. The charities commitment to maintaining a healthy work-life balance allows employees to find fulfillment in their roles while enjoying a meaningful connection to the charity’s mission.

The opportunity to make a tangible impact and network within the charity sector adds a valuable dimension to the overall work experience. You will learn a lot about muscle wasting conditions those who live with this condition including your colleagues.

However MDUK does need to improve on colleague performance and satisfaction; management should address key areas:

Firstly, a thorough review of the compensation structure is essential to bring it in line with industry standards, demonstrating the organisations commitment to valuing its employees. This is grossly undervalued.

Secondly, alleviating concerns related to micro-management by fostering a collaborative and trust-based work environment will empower employees and enhance job satisfaction.

For event days, it is crucial to prioritise colleague well-being.

This involves incorporating designated rest periods into event schedules, evaluating and adjusting physical task demands, and providing appropriate training and support. Emphasising recovery before and after events is also essential, encouraging colleagues to prioritise self-care and ensuring they have suitable clothing and gear for their roles.

Proactively addressing these aspects will contribute to a positive work culture and the overall success of Muscular Dystrophy UK’s events including sharing awareness to those unaware of muscle wasting conditions and what support is available; far and wide.

Good luck!
