Charity Manager

ALK Positive Lung Cancer (UK) is the UK’s leading charity for support, empowerment, and advocacy for ALK-positive lung cancer patients. Due to the charity’s success over the past 5 years, we now wish to appoint a part-time Charity Manager to take the charity forward.

We are now seeking to appoint a Manager with a wide range of duties and roles. The post is offered at a salary of £37K FTE on a flexible basis of an average of 20 hours per week (£20K pa), WFH and a fixed term two-year contract

The charity was established over 5 years ago by patients and their families and has grown from 50 members to over 650.  We are recognised by lung cancer oncologists, pharmaceutical companies and other related organisations as the voice of ALK-positive patients in the UK.

To date, the charity has been largely managed by volunteers, principally the Chair and Treasurer/Administrator, and has engaged outside contractors to provide specific services.  We do not, at present, directly employ staff. 

The charity is strongly patient-focused, as indicated in our vision, and the majority of Trustees are patients.  Whilst recognising the importance of fundraising for research, the charity believes that other charities are better placed to do this and our focus is on the support and empowerment of patients, advocating for a high level of care and campaigning for early diagnosis.

Closing date for applications is 4pm Friday 12 April.
