There are estimated to be over 70,000 individuals and their families affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the UK and between 8-12 million people worldwide. There is no cure for PKD which is a life-threatening inherited condition that causes kidney failure in 50% of affected individuals by middle-age.

A PKD Consortium is to be created by Kidney Research UK and The PKD Charity to work together on PKD research. We are recruiting an exciting new role for a consortium lead, to oversee the delivery of this initiative and manage the broad portfolio of activities once established.

You will have experience of developing, monitoring, reporting and delivering a large programme or project, as well as experience of communicating complex scientific concepts in a clear and accessible way, verbally and in writing. You will also have strong relationship skills and a track record of cultivating positive relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders, organisations, partners and funders.

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 £65 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 success and reputation of the Foundation continues to grow both locally and nationally. This has led to corporate partners of the Somerset County Cricket Club and other local organisations wanting to support Foundation initiatives. Our existing partners support projects such as Cricket in Schools, Community Activation, and Disability Cricket, and support to our club network. We want to continue engaging with local organisations to create new opportunities for community and individual donor engagement to help support us with our objectives of growing the game and making the game of cricket accessible to people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds.
