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.

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.

As a charity, our digital and data-driven approaches to building new audiences whilst stewarding and nurturing those connections is more important than ever and the head of digital marketing will be key to that growth.

You will have significant experience in a digital leadership role within a charity or values-led organisation, with a proven track record of delivering digital transformation or major digital projects. In addition, you will be a skilled leader with the ability to lead, develop and motivate a multi-disciplinary team to achieve high standards.
