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. Their vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease.

The life sciences policy manager is a new role in a growing team and will be central to the delivery of their 2020-2030 Strategy. They know that to make a difference to people affected by kidney disease they need to put kidney disease firmly on the UK’s health and life sciences policy agenda. They need to systematically build evidence and develop solutions in key priority areas, then campaign effectively for their implementation. To do this they need a policy and public affairs function that works seamlessly with their research and innovation teams to continually focus their efforts on delivering real change for people with kidney disease.

The person they need will be an experienced policy professional, excited by the opportunity to develop the evidence base to help change outcomes for people with kidney disease. They need someone who is conversant in life sciences policy and understands the life sciences, research and innovation operational landscape, with the ability to communicate a clear policy ask; someone who can navigate UK political systems; a natural partnership builder who works with others to deliver a common goal, working within the organisation and with the many individuals and organisations that share their cause.

If you are interested in the position, please complete the online application form and submit together with your CV.

They are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone and encourage applications from all sections of the community.

About Our Client:

Our client is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Their vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, they 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 their work more essential than ever.

Our client works with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. They 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 they have invested more than £65 million into research. They 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, they also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything they do, from deciding which research to invest in to how they plan their priorities and their work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping them and their partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring they see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding them that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire their mission and push them forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

You may have experience in the following: Policy Manager, Public Affairs Manager, Research and Innovation Policy Advisor, Health Policy Manager, Life Sciences Policy Advisor, Public Policy Consultant, Health and Social Care Policy Officer, Policy and Partnerships Manager, Healthcare Policy Specialist, Charity, Charities, Third Sector, Not for Profit, NFP, etc.
