Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.


Barbara Ansell National Network for Adolescent Rheumatology (BANNAR) started in 2013 and has been nested within Versus Arthritis since 2020.

BANNAR are a group of professionals from medical, nursing, allied health and third sector backgrounds working in adolescent and young adult (AYA) rheumatology.

The network aims to promote best practice and develop research in this area by working with professionals and supporting the National Youth Advisory Panel, Your Rheum.


At Versus Arthritis our mission is to ensure everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose with a real hope of a cure in the future.

In our new strategy, the impact of arthritis across the life course is identified as a cross cutting theme and this role will help deliver our mission for adolescents and young people.


You will be passionate about improving outcomes for young people with long term conditions, be skilled at working with a range of stakeholders and have strong administration skills.

You will work closely with the BANNAR leadership team and BANNAR members but the role will sit in the Health Development team at Versus Arthritis.

You will also work closely with our Research and Young People and Families Service teams.


About the role


The BANNAR Project Support Officer will support the BANNAR Leadership team and BANNAR members to maintain a valuable professional network.

You will do this by producing a programme of communications and events tailored to the network's needs and promoting the network to new members via effective networking.

You will play a key role in maximising the impact of BANNAR's work in adolescent and young adult rheumatology by supporting Your Rheum activities, monitoring and reporting the achievements of the network, and supporting joint working with teams across Versus Arthritis and beyond.

You will also play a role supporting wider engagement events and activities for healthcare professionals on behalf of Versus Arthritis.
