People
Adrian Blair
Adrian Blair is listed by Parkinson’s UK as Chief People Officer. Own published biography: "I am delighted to have joined Parkinson's UK in February 2024. I have seen the impact of this condition on not just the individual but also their family. It is a privilege to work in an organisation that is dedicated to supporting people affected by Parkinson's, and ultimately searching to find a cure. "With my colleagues in the People and Culture team, we support everyone who comes to work in Parkinson's UK, whether they are employed in the charity or volunteering their time and skills to support our work. We look after the full employee lifecycle from advertising new opportunities through to that moment when colleagues retire or move to another organisation. We are here to help make Parkinson's UK a great place to work. "I started my career in the private and public sectors before moving to charity, where I have worked in international development, health and social care. I have a passion for identifying and leading change and have led large-scale business transformation and information and computer technology (ICT) programmes, which have involved cultural change. Whilst I originally qualified in computing science and am a qualified PRINCE2 and Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) practitioner, I am a Chartered Fellow of CIPD and hold a post-grad in psychology of change and organisational development.
