Today, a global team of over 3,900 highly skilled and dedicated professionals work with more than 30 million people living in the most difficult situations across 25 of the world’s poorest countries. Often these are humanitarian crises arising because of people fleeing conflict or natural disasters, increasingly related to climate change. In these settings, Concern works to rebuild lives, livelihoods and communities.

The global organisation was founded in 1968 in response to the devastating famine in war-torn Biafra. In 2004, the UK operation was formally established, with an office in Belfast and a base in London. Concern (UK) is an integral part of Concern Worldwide, operates as its subsidiary and plays a vital role by providing funding, advocacy and technical assistance, as well as by raising awareness of its work and the voices and stories of those it supports. Concern (UK) does not directly implement programmes overseas but supports Concern Worldwide to do so.

About the Role

We are looking for an individual who is ready to join us to tackle extreme poverty head-on and oversee the work the charity does in the UK and around the world. This work is vital at a time when conflict, food insecurity and the climate crisis is affecting millions of people.

This individual will also serve as an independent and objective member of the Audit and Finance Committee, contributing expertise and skills to help the Board of Trustees discharge its responsibility for effective scrutiny and oversight of the charity.

- The integrity of the charity’s financial statements and its financial reporting and disclosure practices
- The soundness of the charity’s systems of internal control and risk management
- The effectiveness of the charity’s internal audit arrangements
- The independence and performance of the charity’s external auditors

We are seeking a trustee who has the skills to help Concern Worldwide (UK) fulfil its ambitions and navigate this rapidly changing context. Trustees should have an interest or background in international development and, through strong strategic vision and leadership coupled with excellent financial expertise, will work with Concern’s management team to maximise the organisation’s impact.

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.
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.

Through our Public and Patient Involvement and Volunteering functions, the voices, experiences and contributions of people living with and affected by kidney disease are already integral to everything we do in the charity.

But we’re ambitious, we want to strengthen our connections with people and make them feel genuinely part of a movement and community working to transform kidney health, raise awareness and drive positive change. We’re looking for a head of engagement who can bring their skills and experience to deliver that ambition. You’ll have demonstrable experience as a leader in either PPI or volunteering, be able to inspire and motivate a team and drive forward plans that will increase engagement with priority audiences.

As a strategic leader, you’ll have a proven ability in the development, implementation and evaluation of strategies and operational plans that inspire support, enable participation and deliver benefits for both the organisation and individuals.

This is a new role and the head of engagement will be key to ensuring we maintain our strong foundations whilst ambitiously developing and leading new routes and ways for people to act, get involved and influence change.

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 £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.
