A few highlights of the benefits that we offer include:

  • Life and disability insurance
  • Medical, dental, vision insurance
  • Tax savings plans, like flexible spending accounts and health spending accounts
  • Paid leave, including holiday and bereavement
  • 401k retirement savings

Equal employment opportunity (EEO) is a fundamental principle at the Epilepsy Foundation, where employment is based upon personal capabilities and qualifications. The Foundation does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices based on race, color, religion, national origin, creed, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.

The Epilepsy Foundation recognizes that to fulfill its mission to serve people affected by seizures it must acknowledge the diverse makeup of its clients and the people who work to fulfill the mission.

To that end, the Foundation affirms its commitment to reflect the diversity of American society in its Board of Directors, staff, and programs. In particular, the Foundation will work to ensure that its workplace has an inclusive environment that maximizes the benefits of the differences of its workers and presents equal opportunities to all applicants and employees.

Applicants have rights under federal employment laws. Please review the following posters to learn more:
