Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people affected by pulmonary fibrosis. We’re here to ensure that people affected by pulmonary fibrosis (or lung scarring), their loved ones and the professionals caring for them have the support, resources and voice they need.
Purpose
APF has grown significantly over the past five years, with our support services reaching over 10,000 people affected by pulmonary fibrosis (PF) each year. We have ambitious plans for further growth across our services and to fund more ground breaking research. As we enter a new five-year strategic period, we aim to grow our income to £3-5 million, which will underpin our exciting plans to support more people affected by pulmonary fibrosis and prevent lives being lost to this devastating disease.
The Charity Governance and Operations Manager will ensure robust operational, safeguarding, and governance frameworks are in place to support Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis’ continued growth. This role is critical for maintaining our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, overseeing risk management, and embedding efficient operational structures. In addition, you will help foster a culture of high-quality supporter care and lead on continuous improvement to strengthen internal processes and staff development.
