The Hepatitis C Trust

Who we are

The Hepatitis C Trust is a ground-breaking national charity. We provide information, advocacy, services and individual support, working with prisons and NHS partners across the UK to increase awareness, diagnosis, treatment and care. Established in 2001, we are a patient-led and patient-run organisation and a key part of the UK’s strategy to eliminate hepatitis C as a public health problem by 2030.

Our team of 100+ staff and 200 volunteers work right across the UK to support people to access hepatitis C information, diagnosis, treatment and care.

We are committed to staff wellbeing and offer excellent leave and benefits as well as great professional development opportunities.

Our culture and values

We champion the right of every person at risk of hepatitis C in the UK to receive effective testing, treatment and care. 

We achieve this by empowering people with lived experience, influencing policy and practice, and working with healthcare and treatment services to deliver support and raise awareness about hepatitis C.

The Hepatitis C Trust was founded in 2001 by four people who met while looking for ways to manage their condition. At that time, there was no effective treatment for hepatitis C and there was no central source for reliable information about the virus. 

Determined to do something, these founders formed the UK’s first and only dedicated hepatitis C charity.

More than 20 years later, The Hepatitis C Trust has become the leading voice for people affected by hepatitis C in the UK. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are an equal opportunities employer and take pride in our inclusive work culture. We are committed to being inclusive in our recruitment practices and in our ways of working to ensure we recruit and retain a diverse workforce.
