Be a part of an energetic and vibrant team who are driven by the desire to improve the lives of people living with kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease.
Kidney disease already affects ten per cent of the UK population – and it’s growing. Yet despite 7.2million people already living with kidney disease, too few are talking about it or understanding the risks – you’ll play a key role in helping us change that. Now more than ever, it’s vital that we’re able to drive awareness and understanding of the condition and move forward in our mission to end kidney disease.
As we continue to invest in our marketing and communications, we’re looking for a head of marketing and communications who can bring their skills and experience to significantly grow awareness and engagement with key audiences.
You’ll have demonstrable experience as a marketing and communications leader within the charity sector, able to inspire and motivate a team and drive forward ambitious plans that will increase engagement with priority audiences including patients, supporters, researchers, medical professionals and partners.
You’ll also be adaptable and creative, able to work with a wide variety of internal teams and external stakeholders, to bring our charity activities and stories to life, building on existing channels and supporting new growth.
If you are interested in the position, please complete the online application form and submit together with your CV.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone and encourage applications from all sections of the community.
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 £58 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.
