About Mesothelioma UK

Mesothelioma UK is a national charity dedicated to supporting anyone affected by mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer caused primarily by asbestos exposure. Our mission is to help people live better and longer, champion equitable access to improved treatments, advance research, and amplify the voices of those living with mesothelioma. We are proud to provide specialist nursing, information, research, and advocacy services across the UK.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal moment for the charity, offering the chance to build on our strong foundations and drive forward our ambitious strategy to improve outcomes for all those affected by mesothelioma.

Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive will:

  • Inspire and lead a high-performing team, including our unique NHS-based nursing network.
  • Develop and deliver organisational strategy and operational plans.
  • Ensure robust financial management and income generation.
  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders including the NHS, donors, partners, and research teams.
  • Act as an ambassador for the charity, raising our national and international profile.
  • Uphold our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

About You

We are looking for an exceptional leader who brings:

  • Proven experience at CEO, Director, or equivalent senior level in a non-profit or health sector environment.
  • A track record in leadership, strategic planning, financial management, governance and fundraising.
  • Strong people management and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Passion for our mission and values, with high ethical standards and integrity.
  • The ability to inspire, motivate, and unite staff, volunteers, and partners.

What We Offer

  • Salary circa £75,000 (negotiable, dependent on experience)
  • 10% employer pension contribution
  • Health Cash Plan & Employee Assistance Programme
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • The chance to make a profound difference to people’s lives
