Job Description:

Debra Ireland is the national charity that supports people living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (‘EB’), an incurable genetic condition that affects the skin. People with EB are missing the essential proteins that bind the skin's layers together, so any minor friction, movement or trauma can cause it to break, tear, and blister. 

Debra is dedicated to transforming the lives of people living with EB, caring for someone with EB or bereaved by EB, through care, research and advocacy. We provide financial, emotional and practical support, fund pioneering research into better, more innovative treatments to enhance wellbeing and quality of life, create public awareness and provide information about the disease and advocate for investment in comprehensive and appropriate services and supports.
