However, with our own limited resources, we choose to focus particularly on the conditions that have no other specific charity or voice - those illnesses that really are underserved such as pancreatitis, diverticular disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), childhood gut and liver disease and digestive cancers.

We’re looking for someone methodical and structured, with a keen eye for detail who can keep our finances, HR and administration running smoothly. You’ll be someone who prides yourself on doing things properly and loves it when a system and a spreadsheet reconcile!
