Julia

Hi, I’m Julia, Just Treatment’s Senior Operations Officer.
I look after many of the systems that support our work in the background (finance, HR, governance etc). It’s my job to keep improving them so the whole team can focus on the stuff that matters – supporting our campaigns and patient leaders.
I started my career in my first love – the arts – where I worked in comms and marketing and more recently as a fundraiser. In that time, I became very interested in the link between art and our physical and mental wellbeing, along with broader social justice issues. I began working in mental health around that time too, in roles with small charities that were stepping in where the system was failing people.

Before I joined Just Treatment I was the CEO of an Edinburgh-based counselling charity – an important community resource which I helped to rebuild after a time of crisis. I am really excited to have joined the team at Just Treatment and invest more time in tackling the root causes of the failures we’re seeing. I’ve still got my ties to the arts world too as I recently joined PiPA (Parents and Carers in Performing Arts) as a Trustee.

If you have any questions regarding our operations, feel free to contact me via julia@justtreatment.org
