Overview
We live in a country with an ageing population – by 2040, 1 in 4 people in the UK will be 65 or over. At Independent Age we want to ensure that as we grow older, we all have the opportunity to live well with dignity, choice and purpose. Our organisation campaigns and provides services to ensure people can enjoy being independent, financially secure, healthy, active and connected in older age. It’s an incredibly exciting time to join Independent Age and help make an impact on the lives of older people. As people age, they are often let down by the systems in place to support them. Whether they struggle to manage multiple medications, live with undiagnosed conditions, or don’t receive treatment when they need it, older people and their families continually miss out on essential support when they need it most. At Independent Age we campaign to ensure that the systems that people rely on as they grow older are supportive and enabling so that no-one feels ignored, isolated and marginalized. Our campaigns are grounded in the experience of people who have been on the receiving end of these broken systems, and our team mobilises public support to ensure solutions are found and implemented across the country.
