We are seeking a highly skilled Head of Brand & Communications to join our team at Tapping House in King’s Lynn Norfolk. This is an exciting opportunity to lead our team to develop, build and execute our brand voice and a comprehensive communications strategy.

Tapping House is a leading end-of-life charity. We believe in living life to the end and bringing joy to patient’s lives, so we work with everyone as an individual, supporting them on each step of their journey. This year the Hospice will support 1,500 patients not all of them at the very end of life, some referred at the beginning of their journey, but hundreds of people will be supported to live a good life and achieve a good death, in the place of their choice – at home or Hospice. And for every one of them, there is likely to be a spouse, a sibling and probably some children and even grandchildren. This year we will support close to 4,500 patients and family members. 

Tapping House is the only independent hospice covering Norfolk and North Cambridgeshire and one of the few nurse led Inpatient Units in the country. We believe this quality enables us to deliver the most compassionate, dynamic and proactive end of life care. We are a centre of clinical excellence educating staff to remain at the forefront of care. The Hospice serves as an education centre for palliative care for Addenbrookes University Hospital, the Norfolk and Norwich and Queen Elizabeth Hospitals, GPs, community teams and care homes

About the charity
PVRI is a small charity with a global reach. Our aim is to reduce the global burden of Pulmonary Vascular Disease with a particular focus on Pulmonary Hypertension (PH): PH is a life-threatening and life-limiting condition that affects millions worldwide. 

PH can lead to heart damage and trigger symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain, poor growth, and severe difficulties exercising and carrying out normal daily tasks. Diagnosis and care aren’t readily available in many parts of the world, and even when it is, PH treatment can itself be challenging and life-changing. Although it’s estimated that PH affects 1% of the global population, it isn’t widely recognised or well-understood.

To change that, we bring together a fantastic network of energetic and committed PH doctors, academics, patients, and industry partners. Together we’re identifying and addressing the key challenges in global PH, educating the global workforce, and encouraging research. In practical terms, we:

• Host international scientific conferences
• Produce an open-access peer reviewed PH journal, Pulmonary Circulation
• Run webinars and e-learning
• Raise awareness of PH and health inequalities, and advocate for better access to diagnosis, care and treatment - nationally and internationally
• Bring .our members and networks together in working forums:
  • The Innovative Drug Development Initiative (IDDI): eight multidisciplinary workstreams working to solve the challenges in PVD research and speed the development of new treatment
  • Specialty Task Forces: groups working to advance understanding and improve practice in specific clinical areas of PH
  • Regional Task Forces: working in-country to address the key regional and national challenges in PH

We are a London-based registered charity and limited company, governed by an international Board of Trustees and supported by a new Scientific and Medical Advisory Council.

Our small friendly staff team comprises our CEO Karen, Head of Comms Debs, Marketing Officer Emily, Project CoOrdinator Sarah and Admin Manager Katie, supported by our freelance Finance Manager Steph. We work a flexible hybrid model, with office space in Work.Life, close to London Bridge and Borough Market.

In terms of our values, we’re open, inclusive and easy to engage with, and we’re ambitious for ourselves and for the global PVD community.

About the Project Coordinator
The Coordinator provides project and administrative support to our international Workstreams and Task Forces, enabling them to successfully deliver complex academic and scientific workplans, surveys, webinars, research and academic papers.
