About PVRI

PVRI is a small charity with a global reach. Our aim is to reduce the global burden of Pulmonary Vascular Disease with a particular focus on Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).

PH is a life-threatening and life-limiting condition that affects millions worldwide, but despite that, it isn’t widely recognised or well-understood. To change that, we bring together a fantastic network of many hundreds of PH doctors, academics, patients, and industry partners to identify and address the key global challenges in PH. In practical terms, we:

• Host international scientific conferences
• Produce an open-access peer reviewed academic journal, Pulmonary Circulation
• Run webinars and e-learning programmes
• Bring our members and networks together in over twenty working forums:
  • The Innovative Drug Development Initiative (IDDI): eight multidisciplinary workstreams working to solve the challenges in PVD research and speed the development of new treatment
  • Specialty Task Forces: groups working to advance understanding and improve practice in specific clinical areas of PH
  • Regional Task Forces: working in-country to address the key regional and national challenges in PH

· Raise awareness of PH and advocate for better access to diagnosis, care and treatment - nationally and internationally

We’re London-based, and our small friendly staff team comprises our CEO Karen, Head of Operations & Impact Elvia, Head of Comms Debs, Marketing Officer Catherine, Project Coordinator Rachel and Admin Manager Katie. We work a flexible hybrid model, with office space in Work.Life, close to London Bridge and Borough Market. Our preference is for our new Advocacy & Engagement Lead to spend at least 1 day a week working from our office, but we are open to other options, and this can be discussed during the application process.

Our values:  we’re open, inclusive and easy to engage with, and we’re ambitious for ourselves and for the global PVD community.

 

About the Advocacy & Engagement Lead (Global Health)

As Advocacy and Engagement Lead, you will be the bridge between our global professional network and local healthcare systems. You will scope areas of need, and work with key regional stakeholders to develop and implement plans for new PH services.

Key tasks include

· Developing roadmaps and care guidelines for the development of PH services in underserved regions

· Working directly with local healthcare leaders and PVRI Workstream and Task Forces to understand and navigate local health systems, influence policy and identify resources

· Supporting with targeted advocacy messages and global PH data including prevalence, health economics, etc.

This is an exciting new post, reporting to our Head of Operations & Impact.

If the 2-year pilot is successful, we hope to make this work a permanent part of our global operations.

We offer flexible working, a positive learning culture and opportunities for you to learn and grow in the role, including opportunities for international travel.

PVRI celebrates diversity, and we’re committed to equity and inclusion in our recruitment practices and in our ways of working. If you’re excited about our mission, and can bring talent and enthusiasm to our cause, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note that we are recruiting for 2 Partnership Officer roles, one role will focus on new business with corporate companies and the other will focus on community partnerships. Please indicate if you have a preference for the ‘new business’ or ‘community’ role when you apply.

Stroke Association is the UK's largest charity dedicated to supporting patients and their families with the emotional, practical and financial impact a stroke can have.

A stroke can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time! One in four strokes happen in people of working age.

“I’m Leighton and when I was 39 years young I had a stroke. There’s a sentence I never, ever thought I would write. But that’s the thing with a stroke, it didn’t care how fit and healthy I was. It doesn’t care that I’m a dad with a 10-year-old son. A son that needs me.”

Surviving a stroke is just the start of a long and difficult journey to recovery. The Stroke Association is there to support stroke survivors and help their families find the strength they need.

We are thrilled to be working with the partnerships team to find two passionate and talented individuals to raise vital funds, to enable lifelong support for all stroke survivors, just like Leighton.

The community partnerships role will focus on organisations within communities across the country, where as the new business role will deliver new partnerships with corporate businesses.
