PR manager
Contracted to our Peterborough office with the flexibility for hybrid working
Salary £36,000 - £40,000 depending on experience
Full time 37.5 hours per week
Be a part of an energetic and vibrant team who are driven by the desire to improve the lives of people living with kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease.
Kidney disease affects one in ten people in the UK, yet it still doesn’t get the attention it deserves. At Kidney Research UK we are determined to change that.
We are looking for an experienced PR manager to help us significantly grow our media reach.
You’ll lead our press office and storytelling function and shape and deliver coverage that raises the profile of the charity and shows the reality, urgency and impact of kidney disease on patients and their families.
You’ll have a strong track record in press or media relations, excellent writing skills and the judgement to operate confidently and at pace. You’ll be the first point of contact in the press office, with ability to spot a news story and the credibility to build lasting relationships with journalists.
You’ll also oversee our people and fundraising communications function, ensuring patient and supporter stories are handled with care and the right consent and that safeguarding and data processes are in place. This function also works closely with our fundraising teams, developing integrated plans and telling inspiring stories that encourage people to get involved with us.
Working closely with fundraising, policy, research teams and colleagues in the marketing and communication team, you’ll ensure PR plays a central role in our strategic priorities and campaigns.
If you’re ready to make kidney disease impossible to ignore, we’d love to hear from you.
If you are interested in the position, please complete the online application form and submit together with your CV.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone and encourage applications from all sections of the community.
Closing date: Sunday 22 November 2026
Interviews will be held 3 December at our Peterborough office.
