The nature of these diseases all cause hardening and scarring of the lungs, preventing the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream.

The debilitating nature of these diseases means as people become increasing breathless their need for physical and emotional support become greater. Pulmonary fibrosis affects every area of family life.  Yet there is very little dedicated support available to patients and families affected.

We are a collaborative, hard-working and fun team, with lots of mutual respect and support to reach organisational goals.  In your role you’ll need to demonstrate care and compassion, flexibility, be highly organised and solution focussed.

If you believe you have the experience, skills and qualities we are looking for, we very much look forward to hearing from you.

Integral’s Occupational Requirement

Integral has a distinctively Christian ethos and purpose, having grown out of Tearfund in the UK which was founded by the UK Evangelical Alliance. Integral’s fundamental purpose is to serve Jesus Christ by uniting our Members in order to better combat poverty. All our Members share Christian beliefs and aim to bring good news to the poor in this world. They do this through demonstrating and proclaiming the Christian gospel for the whole person through Christian relief and development. A core conviction is that our work will not prosper unless we pray about it and we treat our work as part of our worship to God. 

In order to achieve our mission and to maintain our ethos, it is vital that every Secretariat staff member is committed to Integral’s vision, mission and values and is actively working in accordance with our evangelical beliefs.  As an organisation we aspire to combining professional excellence infused with passion for and commitment to Christ.  We therefore seek to work in line with biblical principles and teaching and to seek God’s guidance in prayer in everything that we do.  Through our practice of employing only committed Christians we have nurtured a working environment where Secretariat staff are committed to and united in achieving our mission.

Essential aspects of work for all Secretariat staff include participation in and leadership of spiritual sessions of worship, prayer, Bible study and reflection, both as a Secretariat and in Integral meetings. We believe this is fundamental to the achievement of our mission.

We therefore regard it as a genuine occupational requirement that this position is held by a committed Christian. The position holder must support the aims and objectives of the Alliance and be committed to the Christian ethos and vision of Integral. We believe that the conditions in part 3, Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010 have been met and that there is a prima facie case that the successful candidate will be a practicing Christian.

The UKLA General Manager is expected to be reliable, systematic and proactive. She or he will have good interpersonal, administrative, communication and IT skills. The role requires someone who works well under pressure while also paying due attention to detail and upholding the values of the Association.

The UKLA General Manager has oversight of all communications and events from a UKLA Office perspective but is directly responsible to the trustees of UKLA for the efficient operation of the UKLA Office and its team of staff. On a day-to-day basis, however, the General Manager works independently and with minimum supervision, responding promptly and directly to the needs of trustees and committee conveners to ensure that UKLA’s programme of charitable activity and the implementation of delegated aspects of its strategy run as smoothly and effectively as possible.

The UKLA General Manager is expected to undertake other duties and responsibilities which the Association may from time to time reasonably require, and engage in any training which may be offered relevant to fulfilling the role more effectively.
