Parkinson’s UK works with health and social care professionals and members of the Parkinson’s community to transform Parkinson’s services across the UK. 

We do this through the Parkinson’s UK Excellence Network (PEN), a network of over 7,000 health and care professionals with a shared vision: to build an expert Parkinson’s workforce and improve health and care services for people with Parkinson’s.

We bring together and support health and care professionals to share best practice, network and collaborate, share resources and education, and drive improvements to services for people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones.

To help us deliver our strategic aims, we are looking for a person with lived experience of Parkinson’s to take on the role of UK Parkinson's Audit - National Project Clinical Lead on a consultancy basis. 

In this role, you’ll:

• Inspire, challenge and collaborate with the health and social care professional community to drive significant improvements to Parkinson’s services.

• Provide clinical expertise and input on a distinct project with a service improvement focus related to the UK Parkinson’s Audit.

• Act as an ambassador for the Excellence Network. 

• Join relevant governance groups, including the UK Parkinson’s Audit Governance Board. 

What you’ll bring:

• Be a UK-based clinical healthcare professional, working in Parkinson’s or with extensive interest and expertise in the condition, with exceptional interpersonal and influencing skills. Healthcare professionals living with Parkinson’s are also encouraged to apply.

• Have a good understanding of the landscape of health and social care delivery, education and workforce development to support the strategic aims and objectives of Parkinson’s UK.

• Be skilled in sharing insight and lived experience with a range of stakeholders to help inform decision making.

• Have an understanding of clinical audit processes. Experience of working with or contributing to the UK Parkinson's Audit is desirable but not required.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with proven ability to build and manage successful relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including senior clinicians.

• Experience of operating in a modern digital workplace, including using digital tools, platforms and techniques to work collaboratively and productively. 

This is an exciting time for Parkinson’s UK and we would love you to join us!

Please apply by sending us your CV, together with a detailed supporting statement which will fully demonstrate how you meet all the criteria of the role, as stated in the "What expertise you'll bring" section of the job description.

Interviews for this role will be held from 11 September 2026, online via googlemeet.

Anyone can get Parkinson’s. It’s vital that the people who work for Parkinson’s UK are representative of our diverse community. We actively encourage people from all sections of the community to apply, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion.

We're looking for someone who can turn plans into reality; mobilising new services, embedding change, improving performance and helping operational teams overcome barriers to delivery.

Working across a diverse portfolio of clinical and non-clinical services, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring new and existing services operate effectively, achieve their objectives and continue to grow. You'll work closely with operational, clinical and senior stakeholders to implement change, drive service improvement and support the successful delivery of care for patients and families across the South-West.

If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, improving services and seeing projects through from idea to implementation, we'd love to hear from you.

Hours: 37.5 hours per week

Contract: Full-time Permanent

Salary: £49,382 - £56,515 per annum (pro rata), plus a full range of Marie Curie benefits.

Location: Home-based, with regular travel to Tiverton and services across the South-West.

As Deputy Head of Operations, you will help turn agreed priorities into delivered work.

The work is not finished when a service launches. It is finished when the service is working, stable, understood and delivering what it was set up to deliver. You will help turn agreed priorities into delivered work.

That means building clear plans, keeping actions moving, resolving practical barriers, coordinating across teams, using data well, and staying with implementation after go-live.

This role does not carry a large line management portfolio. That is deliberate. Its value is in delivery, follow-through and operational grip. You'll work across multiple services and stakeholders to identify challenges, implement solutions and ensure services are delivering high-quality outcomes for patients and families.

You'll be someone who:

• Takes ownership and follows through on commitments.
• Enjoys solving problems and removing barriers to progress.
• Can balance multiple priorities and remain focused on delivery.
• Uses data and insight to drive decision-making.
• Builds strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Thrives in environments where priorities evolve and change.

What success looks like:

In this role, success will mean that work moves more clearly and more quickly. New services are mobilised with better grip. Existing services have stronger follow-through on performance and improvement. Operational problems are identified earlier and resolved more practically. Senior leaders have better visibility without needing to chase every detail. Teams experience the role as helpful because barriers are removed, decisions are followed through, and work does not keep returning to the same conversations.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the mobilisation and implementation of new services and service developments.
• Driving operational improvement and service redesign initiatives.
• Monitoring performance data and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Working with operational and clinical colleagues to resolve complex challenges.
• Developing effective processes, systems and ways of working that support sustainable service delivery.
• Supporting services to achieve quality, operational and performance objectives.
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of operational priorities.
• Using insight and data to support decision-making and service planning.

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.
