The nature of these diseases all cause hardening and scarring of the lungs, preventing the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream.

You may already have experience in a similar role.

We are a collaborative, hard-working and fun team, with lots of mutual respect and support to reach organisational goals.  In your role you’ll need to demonstrate empathy to our cause, critical thinking, flexibility and outstanding communication skills.

If you believe you have the experience, skills and qualities we are looking for, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
