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.
The policy and public affairs manager will be central to the delivery of our 2020-2030 Strategy. We know that to make a difference to people affected by kidney disease we need to put kidney disease firmly on the UK’s health and life sciences policy agenda. You will systematically build evidence and develop solutions in key priority areas, then work with external partners in the third sector, industry, parliaments and elsewhere to ensure their implementation. To do this we need a policy and public affairs function that works seamlessly with our research and innovation teams to continually focus our efforts on delivering real change for people with kidney disease.
The successful person will be an experienced policy and public affairs professional, excited by the opportunity to develop the policy and evidence base to help change outcomes for people with kidney disease. We need someone who is conversant in health and life sciences policy, with the ability to communicate a clear policy ask; someone who can navigate the UK political systems; a natural partnership builder who works with others to deliver a common goal, working within Kidney Research UK and with the many individuals and organisations that share our cause.

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 £58 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.
