Regional Support Coordinator (South), Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis
Salary: £25,000-£32,000 depending on experience, pro-rated
Location: Home based (with regular travel once the pandemic restrictions lift)
Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about enabling patients and carers to drive change? We are looking for an exceptional candidate to manage and grow our regional network of support groups for people living with pulmonary fibrosis.
There is no known cure for pulmonary fibrosis, and little support for families. We are passionate about changing that, by funding research to find a cure, campaigning for access to early diagnosis and treatments, and supporting quality of life through access to good peer support. We’ve made a fantastic start and now have more than 70 support groups, reaching 3,000 people – but there are more than 30,000 people who need one!
You might be a health professional, have personal experience of pulmonary fibrosis in the family, or have worked with support groups in a charity or health context. If you are positive, proactive, creative and organised, have the skill needed to build our network of groups, and excel at engaging with patients and carers digitally and in person, we’d love to hear from you!
The region covers the geographical area to the south of Peterborough, with a special focus on London and the South-East, and a growing network in the South West and the South coast. You will need to be well placed to travel throughout your region.
Please email your CV with a Supporting Statement showing how you meet the person specification to info@actionpf.org by 10am on 4 January 2021, marking your subject line ‘Regional Support Coordinator (South)’.
Deadline: 10am on Monday 4 January 2021
Interviews: w/c 11 January and 18 January 2021
Expected Start: Early Spring 2021
