Who are Guts UK Charity?
Guts UK Charity is committed to a world where digestive conditions are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need. Too many people are suffering or dying in silence or alone. They don’t know where to turn for information or support, diagnosis takes too long for many, and treatment can often come too late.
We are the only UK charity that covers the entire digestive system. We raise vital awareness of digestive conditions, fund life-saving research, and provide patients and loved ones with expert information and support – we are informed by evidence and expertise, our community, and the patient voice.
Our mission is simple: to improve the lives of millions of people affected by digestive conditions

Who we’re looking for?
You'll be experienced in delivering comprehensive communications and campaigns from start to finish with a natural flare for transforming complex messages into engaging, easy to understand content suitable for different audiences.
You are a friendly and approachable leader who enjoys working creatively and collaboratively within a small team, as well as with external stakeholders and members of our community.
You are a brave and bold communicator who values collaboration and connection, matching our values as a charity, and you have a genuine interest in digestive health or connection to our area of work.
Location
