About Beacon

Beacon (formerly known as Findacure) is a UK-based charity that is building a united rare disease community with patient support groups at its heart.

Our vision: a world in which no one faces their rare journey alone.

Rare diseases affect around 3.5 million of the UK population. Sadly, this population struggles to receive a diagnosis or treatment or meet others with the same condition. Patient groups are a lifeline for those living with a rare disease. They provide emotional support and advice for day-to-day living, as well as driving wide-scale changes in policy, treatment and care.

Our charity upskills rare disease patient groups through training, guided programmes, community projects and research initiatives. We help these groups maximise their impact and deliver change for the world’s often neglected rare disease patients.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, professional projects that make everyone feel welcome and heard, providing opportunities to connect and collaborate with others across the rare disease space.

By working in partnership with patient organisations and other stakeholders, we are breaking the isolation felt by those living with a rare condition, uniting all rare diseases into a single unified force.

Beacon has a small, tight-knit team, with a friendly atmosphere and strong commitment to our beneficiaries. We aim to give all employees opportunities to pursue their interests, develop their skills and shape their career paths.

About REMEDI4ALL

Drug repurposing takes a drug approved for use in one condition and collects evidence of its safety and efficacy in a completely different indication. As a development route, drug repurposing has great potential to treat some of the world’s rarest conditions due to its relatively low cost and potential speed. However, there is a wide range of barriers that exist to repurposing.

REMEDI4ALL is a drug repurposing platform, which aims to break these barriers to accelerate the translation of promising science into newly repurposed drugs. REMEDI4ALL has been funded by the EU for a 5-year period starting in September 2022. It will be delivered by a consortium of 24 organisations from across the EU and UK, who collectively aim to repurpose drugs for all conditions, including rare and infectious diseases and cancer.

As part of this brand-new project, we are hiring a Scientific Officer to help deliver this exciting new platform.

Overview of the Role

As Scientific Officer, you will join Beacon at the inception of the REMEDI4ALL project and will work amongst a consortium of 23 other organisations across Europe to develop the platform.

Working directly with Beacon’s newly hired Senior Scientific Officer and the Therapeutic Development Team at EURORDIS: Rare Disease Europe, you will be involved in the development and delivery of the following two project work packages:

1. Engaging with those interested in drug repurposing across Europe, with a particular focus on bringing patient input into the heart of research.
2. Developing a multi-platform set of training for patient groups, academics and industry members to understand the end-to-end process of drug repurposing.

This is a unique opportunity to secure a role in a flagship European initiative.

As our Scientific Officer, you will be involved in delivering a drug repurposing training programme and building a community of researchers, patient groups, and life scientists with an interest in repurposing. The training programme will encompass a series of e-learning resources, webinars, a podcast, an annual residential training school, and a mentoring programme to support both the researchers and patient groups engaged in active research.

Alongside this, you will have the opportunity to support researchers and patient group leaders across Europe. You will learn first-hand about the drug development process while ensuring that patient input remains at the heart of our work.

This is a full-time (37.5 hours per week) role. Funding for this role is available for a five-year fixed-term contract.

To apply, please email an up-to-date CV and cover letter to Dr Rick Thompson (CEO) and Mary Rose Roberts (COO) via the Apply button.

Closing date: 15th August 2022.

Shortlisted candidates will initially be contacted for a phone interview, with the final round of interviews likely taking place between 15th and 26th August 2022.
