We are a nationwide charity with a remote-based team and an HQ in Peterborough. Our VISION is to STOP pulmonary fibrosis in its tracks.

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. This includes expanding outreach, enhancing care pathways, and influencing transformative change in partnership with stakeholders. You must embody innovation, ambition, collaboration, and resilience to advance our mission and drive positive outcomes for the PF community.
