Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis, the UK’s leading health and research charity for Pulmonary Fibrosis is seeking an inspiring CEO to lead strategic growth, advocate for patients, foster partnerships, drive fundraising, and shape innovative research initiatives, providing the visionary leadership to empower our community and transform care for those by pulmonary fibrosis.

Pulmonary fibrosis (lung scarring) describes a group of interstitial lung diseases where the lungs become progressively stiffer and smaller, eventually leading to low oxygen levels in the blood. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) affects around 70,000 people in the UK. Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is a life-limiting disease. While trends in life expectancy are improving, no one can tell an individual exactly how long they will live, making our work hugely urgent for our community.

Our pioneering efforts have transformed the landscape of PF awareness and care standards, empowering people and advancing research.

As our next CEO, you will champion the centring of people, drive strategic growth, foster existing and new partnerships, and enhance our fundraising efforts. Leading a dedicated team, you will shape and execute a dynamic five-year strategy, prioritising impactful initiatives to improve the well-being of people.
