Corporate Partnerships Manager

7.2 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 continue to 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 the past five years, so it is an exciting time to join Kidney Care UK. But this is just the start - we want to grow our income significantly in the next three years. We have to - there are so many people who need us.
