Pulmonary fibrosis (lung scarring) describes a group of interstitial lung diseases where the lungs become progressively stiffer and smaller, eventually leading to low oxygen levels in the blood. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) affects around 70,000 people in the UK. Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is a life-limiting disease. While trends in life expectancy are improving, no one can tell an individual exactly how long they will live, making our work hugely urgent for our community.

We are a nationwide charity with a remote-based team and an HQ in Peterborough. Our VISION is to STOP pulmonary fibrosis in its tracks. Established in 2013 by people affected by PF, carers, and healthcare professionals, APF funds support programs (by far the major part of our work), invests in global research and supports other research initiatives, campaigns for improved care and diagnosis, and raises awareness of these diseases. Our pioneering efforts have transformed the landscape of PF awareness and care standards, empowering people and advancing research.

As our next CEO, you will champion the centring of people, drive strategic growth, foster existing and new partnerships, and enhance our fundraising efforts. Leading a dedicated team, you will shape and execute a dynamic five-year strategy, prioritising impactful initiatives to improve the well-being of people. This includes expanding outreach, enhancing care pathways, and influencing transformative change in partnership with stakeholders. You must embody innovation, ambition, collaboration, and resilience to advance our mission and drive positive outcomes for the PF community.

Could you provide interim CEO leadership and support to one of Liverpool's leading multicultural charities, supporting diverse communities to improve their mental health and wellbeing?

Location: Liverpool or hybrid
Contract: 3-6 months interim
Salary: Day rate, negotiable with a guideline of £300-500 per day

About the organisation

The organisational motto is 'the same rights, different needs'. This charity believes that every individual has the right to access services available to them. They help services to understand that every individual is just that, an individual who has varying levels of support needs. They advocate for fair and just treatment for communities facing racial inequalities. The organisation was set up specifically to meet the needs of the racialised and immigrant communities in Liverpool's L8.

In 2022/23, their services supported over 600 individuals and families across Liverpool, including an increase in newly arrived asylum seekers and refugees needing to access services. While the organisation wants to remain responsive to the prevailing needs of a changing community, they also want to ensure that they stay true to the origins of the organisation in tackling the gross inequities faced to this present day, predominantly by Black people in the mental health system.

About the role

The overarching aim is to stabilise and strengthen the organisation, with a view to attracting and retaining a strong candidate for the permanent CEO role.
