In our recent report “Time to Act: A New Review of Kidney Health Inequalities” one of the urgent priorities highlighted the need for additional services and new approaches for high-risk and underserved group to reduce the risk of developing kidney disease or prevent kidney disease progressing in those that have it.
To help achieve this we are significantly expanding our peer educator initiative, an evidence-based and multi award winning model to engage and reach underserved communities, support health awareness and literacy and instigate behavioural change; delivered by trusted, trained peer educators through attendance at events and community spaces. We aim to scale up the roll out and adoption of peer educators within the care pathway across the UK, with a particular focus on improving early detection and diagnosis of chronic kidney disease and associated conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
This new post will play a significant role in the growth of the peer education programme and the initial focus of the role will be to:
- Coordinate the development and delivery of the Peterborough peer educator project
- Support the development and delivery of the UK wide peer educator programme
You will have knowledge of health inequalities and experience in effective community outreach and engagement as well as experience of project delivery, ideally in a health-related role. In addition, you will have clinical experience in a related area.

About Kidney Research UK:
Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.
At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.
Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.
Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.
Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

The Grenfell 'Education Hub' will open later this year to serve those most affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The hub will provide educational support to children and young people, their families, and local schools.
A consultation process in 2023 and 2024 about the needs of the community and the bereaved and survivors led to proposals for an educational ‘hub’. This will comprise a wide range of professionals including four specialist teachers, an Educational Psychologist, a Speech and Language Therapist, an Occupational Therapist, a Careers Coordinator, and a Family Support Worker. Their time will be divided between direct work with children and families in the ‘Hub’, and support for local schools. The activity of the hub aims to;
• Provide good quality educational support to as many children and young people as possible
• Build the skills and confidence of children and young people, their families, and education staff in local schools
• Develop strong relationships with those most affected by the Grenfell Tower fire
• Accurately assess its impact
Diversity & Inclusion: The Education Hub is committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce. We welcome and encourage applications from people from all backgrounds.

Tree Equity Scores bring together multiple datasets, such as deprivation, heat, canopy cover and more, to provide a single figure that illustrates an area's need for urban trees. The Tree Equity for Hartlepool project marks the first town-wide approach in the UK to address low Tree Equity scores across an entire urban area. This multi-partner project, led by Trees for Cities, will work across planting, engagement and awareness raising of the urban forest.
Working with Hartlepool Borough Council, Trees on Tees Community Forest, The Woodland Trust, Thirteen Group housing association and Treeconomics, this partnership brings together major local landowners alongside national tree specialists to deliver a programme of work over two years - and is seeking a Project Manager to drive the work forward.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As Project Manager, you will be responsible for this flagship work locally, overseeing a diverse portfolio of tasks. This will include project and line management, development of tree planting projects, being the charity’s voice in the region, developing partner relationships, advocating for our work and raising the profile of the charity and urban trees with key stakeholders. You will ensure the smooth running of the project and success for this flagship piece of work in the Tree Equity movement.
The role will involve a large amount of interpersonal work and requires a confident, well-organised and friendly individual who can both confidently lead and manage the project, and act as a spokesperson for the charity and urban forestry with key stakeholders locally. You will be responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships with partners, and these will be key to success, ensuring the project is delivered with ambition to get the results the community needs.
You will work under the steer of the Senior Development Manager, and line manage a locally based Project Community Coordinator. You will represent Trees for Cities and build the strategic presence of the charity and partners in the Tees Valley area.
As Trees for Cities looks ahead to its next strategic period, this project is a key flagship piece of work, and the role will be required to represent the partnership and associated work being done. In delivering a successful project, the case will be made for addressing low Tree Equity scores at the local and national level, influencing decision makers to best support urban forestry.
