About Kidney Care UK

3.5 million people in the UK have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a diagnosis that can turn your world upside down.

For 50 years, Kidney Care UK has been at the forefront of supporting people with kidney disease. From our early days when we campaigned to introduce donor cards in the UK, we have worked hard to support and represent the interests of everyone affected by this lifelong condition. We provide practical, emotional, and financial support for individuals and their families, while also working with healthcare professionals to improve care services and campaign for change.

Kidney disease can affect anyone and there is no cure. We are here for the young and the old, for those struggling to make ends meet, for families and loved ones. We fight tirelessly, giving our total support, to improve the lives of kidney patients and their families.

We’ve grown significantly over recent years. But this is just the start – we want to grow our income significantly in the next five years as part of our ambitious new strategy to ensure that the charity is fully sustainable so that we can support the 1000s of patients who need us every year. We’ve been making quite a splash recently – our ‘Bloody Amazing Kidneys’ campaign has seen more than 200,000 people successfully complete our online kidney checker so they can understand their risk of kidney disease.

Will you join us and help ensure that no one faces kidney disease alone?

The role will focus on the acquisition and stewardship of donors, maintaining a fantastic donor journey for longer term engagement. The role holder will need to own and manage their workstreams, drawing on the expertise of other in-house teams from Marketing to Finance. The need for accuracy in data and administrative work requires the role holder to have a keen eye for detail and a respect for processes and regulations.

What we offer

Working at Kidney Care UK is incredibly rewarding and you will see the life-changing impact that the charity has on kidney patients and their families:

• Flexi-time – we are flexible about start and finish times, and flexible about your location.
• Annual and Christmas leave – we offer 25 days annual leave for full time employees plus bank holidays. We also close for three days between Christmas and New Year, and you don’t need to take this from your annual leave allowance.
• Pension – you’ll be eligible for and auto-enrolled into a pension scheme where your employer will contribute 8% of your salary.
• Health cashback plan – ability to claim back a wide variety of routine medical treatments.

Role Profile

This is an opportunity to join an established charity with an excellent local reputation as both a trusted partner and a great place to work. This newly created and strategically important role will lead the design, implementation and delivery of a new Gambling Harms Prevention programme across North Lincolnshire.

This is a prevention-focused role, responsible for coordinating and delivering a local approach to addressing gambling harms in partnership with the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector, statutory organisations and local communities.

The Gambling Harms Prevention Lead will drive the education, awareness, partnership development and lived experience elements of the programme, helping to ensure gambling harms are identified earlier, understood more widely, and addressed through coordinated preventative action.

The postholder will lead on building capability across the VCFSE sector and frontline workforce, strengthening referral pathways, reducing stigma, and embedding consistent approaches to the early identification and prevention of gambling-related harms. They will also ensure that lived experience is central to delivery, shaping how services are designed, communicated and continuously improved.

This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on delivery and requires strong partnership working, programme management and influencing skills, alongside practical experience in areas such as training, facilitation, communications and evaluation.

The Gambling Harms Prevention Lead will play an important role in supporting wider public health priorities, including reducing inequalities, strengthening community-based support, and helping to shift services towards earlier intervention and prevention.

We are an open, supportive and progressive employer that recognises people bring a wide range of transferable skills, experiences and perspectives. While experience in gambling harms or related sectors would be valuable, we are also keen to hear from candidates who may have less direct experience but can demonstrate the values, potential, relationship-building skills and commitment needed to succeed in the role. Based on a candidate's experience we may appoint at the lower end of the salary scale, with support and development provided to help build knowledge and confidence within the post.

As an organisation, we are committed to developing modern and flexible ways of working that support both wellbeing and high performance. We operate a 4 Day Working Week model, enabling staff to work 80% of contracted hours while maintaining 100% pay and 100% productivity expectations. Following successful completion of probation, the successful candidate will be eligible to opt into the scheme, subject to organisational requirements and performance standards. We believe this approach supports a healthier, more sustainable working environment while continuing to deliver high-quality services for local people.
