About the organization
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre works with diverse allies and partners to put human rights at the core of companies’ business models and end abuse; to support communities and workers in securing their rights and accountability for corporate abuse; and to encourage governments to create the right regulation and incentives to uphold human rights in business. We are a global organization rooted in five continental regions, comprised of a Global Team of 80.

Fight Bladder Cancer is a UK-based bladder cancer charity founded and run by bladder cancer patients and their families / carers.
We provide personal support anyone affected by bladder cancer in the U.K. We also help raise public awareness, support medical research, and campaign to influence policy at the highest levels to bring about improvements in bladder cancer treatments.
We may be a small organisation in relative terms, but we are one with big ambitions and for good reason.
The number of people in the UK living with bladder cancer currently exceeds 100,000 and with around 20,000 new cases each year, despite a 16% reduction in instances over the past decade, early diagnosis and treatment remain a key challenge.
Our patient support work is endorsed by patients, their families and by medical professionals alike and is recognised as being the leading source of information about Bladder Cancer for patients, carers and practitioners.
The key to our success has been that we are a patient-led organisation and one that seeks to put the patient-voice at the heart of the public health policy and funding debate. We can point to having achieved tangible success in influencing the improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.
Our ambition is for a dimensional increase in our public information and awareness work. We aim to double our income to increase our capacity for delivering on our continued commitment to support people with bladder cancer and their families and to influence the future pattern and quality of health services for this neglected cancer.
There are all the foundations needed to achieve the objectives for growth and increase impact – a deserved reputation for the quality of what we do and our expertise, a successful income generation programme with potential for growth, a committed team of staff and volunteers, and all supported by sound governance.
As our next Chief Executive, you will lead on the delivery of the achievement of our ambitions and improve the patient experience for literally thousands of people.
