Full Job Description

Are you a good listener, a problem solver, someone prepared to go the extra mile for patients living with kidney disease?

This role will deliver Kidney Care UK's Patient Support and Advocacy service in the given area. This varied role deals with every aspect of a patient's life that supports better outcomes: welfare benefits, practical, emotional and social support. As well as directly supporting patients, you will raise awareness of the wide range of local and national resources available to kidney patients, and build strong relationships with kidney patients, professionals, and other stakeholder groups in the region.

Based at home (laptop and mobile phone provided), you will be expected to travel independently across your area and manage your own caseload with the support of your line manager and other members of our national friendly, committed team.
